Abstract
An integrated optic lamp assembly includes a rigid mounting structure, a base, a light source, and a reflector. The base, light source, and reflector are supported by the mounting structure. The base is configured to operationally connect to a light source socket. The reflector is configured and positioned relative to the light source to distribute light emitted from said light source in a predetermined light distribution pattern.
Claims47
In a luminaire comprising a housing enclosing a removable first light source and a fixed reflector wherein the luminaire provides light in a standard light distribution pattern, a method of relamping the luminaire comprising the steps:
- removing the first light source from the housing;
- and
- installing a removable integrated optic lamp assembly into the housing, said integrated optic lamp assembly comprising a second light source and an assembly reflector,
- wherein the luminaire provides light in a standard light distribution pattern after installing the removable integrated optic lamp assembly.
An integrated optic lamp assembly comprising:
- a rigid mounting structure;
- a base supported by said mounting structure, said base being configured to operationally connect to a light source socket;
- a light source supported by said mounting structure;
- and
- a reflector supported by said mounting structure, said reflector being configured and positioned relative to said light source to distribute light emitted from said light source in a predetermined light distribution pattern.
An apparatus comprising a reflector configured to be clamped to a socket of a luminaire and reflect light from a light source according to a standard light distribution pattern, wherein the light source is within a bulb and the reflector is configured to surround a portion of the bulb.
A method comprising:
- positioning a reflector to surround a portion of a bulb, wherein the bulb is secured to a socket;
- and
- securing the reflector to the socket;
- wherein the reflector is configured to reflect light from the bulb according to a standard light distribution pattern.
In a luminaire comprising a housing enclosing a removable first light source and a fixed reflector wherein the luminaire provides light in a standard light distribution pattern, a method of relamping the luminaire comprising the steps:
- removing a first socket from the luminaire, wherein the first socket is connected to the first light source;
- and
- installing a second socket in the luminaire, wherein an integrated optic lamp assembly is secured to the second socket, said integrated optic lamp assembly comprising a second light source and an assembly reflector, wherein the assembly reflector surrounds a portion of the second light source and is configured to reflect light from the second light source according to a standard light distribution pattern.
In a luminaire comprising a housing enclosing a light source and a first fixed reflector, a method comprising the steps:
- positioning a second reflector to reflect light from the light source;
- and
- securing the second reflector relative to the light source;
- wherein the second reflector is configured to reflect light from the light source according to a first standard light distribution pattern.
In a luminaire including a socket, a first bulb connected to the socket, and a first reflector, the first bulb having a longitudinal axis of elongation, the first bulb having a first maximum dimension in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, a method of relamping comprising:
- removing the first bulb from the luminaire;
- and
- installing a second bulb and a second reflector in the luminaire;
- wherein a second maximum dimension of the second bulb and the second reflector considered together in the installed position, in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, is less than or equal to the first maximum dimension.
A luminaire enclosing a space suitable for housing a first standard outer lamp jacket, the luminaire comprising:
- a first fixed reflector;
- a lamp socket;
- a second standard outer lamp jacket within said space and attached to said socket;
- a light source within said second standard outer lamp jacket;
- and
- a second reflector mounted within said space;
- wherein the luminaire provides light in a standard light distribution pattern, and said second standard outer lamp jacket and said second reflector together fit within said space.
In a luminaire including a first bulb and a first fixed reflector, the first bulb connected to a socket, a method of relamping comprising:
- removing the first bulb from the socket, wherein after the first bulb is removed the luminaire defines a space available for installing another bulb;
- and
- installing a second bulb and a second reflector within the available space.
A luminaire comprising:
- a housing defining a cavity;
- a first fixed reflector having a reflecting surface mounted within said cavity, said reflecting surface forming a partial boundary of an illumination space within said cavity;
- a light source mounted within said illumination space;
- and
- a second reflector mounted within said illumination space;
- said second reflector for reflecting light emitted from said light source in a desired light distribution pattern.
