Abstract
A corner accentuator or corner mounted illumination for providing illumination from the corner of two walls. The accentuator includes a light-illuminated reflector in the front side of a corner plate. The light has a DC power source that can provide power to the light even in when there is a power outage. The power source can be used in conjunction with a solar collector disposed in the front side of the corner plate which recharges the energy storage device.
Claims18
A corner mounted illuminator for providing illumination from a corner, said illuminator comprising a unitary structure configured and dimensioned to fit in a corner, and said illuminator further comprising:
- a. a non-translucent corner plate having a front side, a back side, a perimeter edge separating said front and back side, and a reflector aperture therethrough;
- b. a reflector having a front reflective side, a back non-reflective side, and a light source aperture, said reflector being mounted within the reflector aperture to said corner plate;
- c. a light source mounted within the light source aperture between the back side and the front side of the corner plate;
- and
- d. an energy storage device electrically connected to said light source, and mounted proximate to the back side of said corner plate.
In a wall having opposite corners formed by the vertex of three mutually perpendicular walls, a lighting system comprising a pair of corner mounted illuminators, one of said pair disposed in one corner, and the other of said pair disposed in an opposite corner, said corner mounted illuminator comprising:
- a. a non-translucent corner plate having a front side, a back side, a beveled perimeter edge therebetween, and a reflector aperture therethrough;
- b. a reflector having a front reflective side, a back non-reflective side, and a light source aperture, said reflector being mounted within the reflector aperture;
- c. a light source mounted within the light source aperture between the back side and the front side of the corner plate;
- and
- d. an energy storage device proximate said back side of said corner plate, and proximate to and operatively connected to said light source.
A corner mounted illuminator, comprising:
- a non-translucent triangular plate configured and dimensioned to fit in a corner, and having a front side, a back side, a perimeter edge therebetween, a reflector aperture therethrough and a recess in said front side;
- a reflector having a front reflective side, a back non-reflective side, and a light source aperture, said reflector being mounted within the reflector aperture;
- a light mounted within the light source aperture between the back side and the front side of the corner plate;
- an energy storage device proximate said back side of said triangular plate, and proximate to and electrically connected to said light;
- and
- a solar collector disposed within the recess of the triangular plate, said solar collector operatively connected to charge said energy storage device.
A corner mounted illuminator, comprising a non-translucent corner plate, a reflector, a light and a DC voltage source;
- said corner plate having a front side, a back side, a perimeter edge separating said front and back side, and a reflector aperture;
- said reflector having a front reflective side, a back non-reflective side, and a light source aperture, said reflector being mounted within the reflector aperture;
- said light mounted within the light source aperture between the back side and the front side of the corner plate;
- and
- said DC source proximate said back side of said corner plate, and proximate to and electrically connected to said light source.
A method of illuminating and defining the steps of a stairway, comprising:
- securing to each corner of a step a corner mounted illuminator;
- said corner mounted illuminator including:
- a non-translucent corner plate having a front side, a back side, a perimeter edge separating said front and back side, and a reflector aperture therethrough;
- said reflector having a front reflective side, a back non-reflective side, and a light source aperture, said reflector being mounted within the reflector aperture;
- said light mounted within the light source aperture between the back side and the front side of the corner plate;
- and
- said energy source proximate said back side of said corner plate, and proximate to and electrically connected to said light.
A corner mounted illuminator for providing illumination from a corner, said illuminator comprising a unitary structure configured and dimensioned to fit in a corner, and said illuminator further comprising:
- a. a non-translucent corner plate having a front side, a back side, a perimeter edge separating said front and back side, and a reflector recess on the front side;
- b. a reflector having a front reflective side, a back non-reflective side, and a light source aperture, said reflector being mounted within the reflector recess to said corner plate;
- c. a light source mounted within the light source aperture;
- and
- d. an energy storage device electrically connected to said light source, and mounted proximate to the back side of said corner plate.
A corner mounted illuminator for providing illumination from a corner, said illuminator comprising a unitary structure configured and dimensioned to fit in a corner, and said illuminator further comprising:
- a. a non-translucent corner plate having a front side, a back side, a perimeter edge separating said front and back side, and a reflector recess on the front side;
- b. a reflector having a front reflective side, a back non-reflective side, and a light source aperture, said reflector being mounted within the reflector recess to said corner plate;
- c. a light source mounted within the light source aperture such that the light source is mounted within said corner plate as opposed to being mounted behind said corner plate;
- and
- d. an energy storage device electrically connected to said light source, and mounted proximate to the back side of said corner plate.
