Abstract
A luminaire retrofit panel including a main wall adapted to support a luminaire in a central opening of the main wall, and including an outer perimeter. A side wall extends from the outer perimeter of the main wall. A plurality of secondary walls extend from the side wall and extend over a portion of the main wall toward the central opening of the main wall. The secondary walls are substantially parallel to the main wall. The plurality of secondary walls support at least one hinge and at least one latch. The hinge is engagable with a frame and allows the main wall to pivot with respect the frame. The latch is engagable with the frame to hold the main wall to releasably secure the main wall to the frame.
Claims36
A luminaire retrofit panel, comprising:
- a main wall adapted to support a luminaire in a central opening of said main wall, and including an outer perimeter;
- a side wall extending directly and outwardly from said outer perimeter of said main wall;
- and
- a plurality of secondary walls extending from said side wall and extending over a portion of said main wall toward said central opening of said main wall with said secondary walls being substantially parallel to said main wall, said plurality of secondary walls supporting at least one hinge and at least one latch,
- whereby said hinge is engagable with a frame and allows said main wall to pivot with respect the frame, and said latch is engagable with the frame to hold said main wall to releasably secure said main wall to the frame.
A luminaire housing, comprising:
- a frame;
- and
- a panel releasably coupled to said frame and movable between open and closed positions with respect to said frame, said panel having a main wall for supporting a luminaire and including a central opening, an outer perimeter, a side wall extending directly and outwardly from said outer perimeter of said main wall, and a plurality of secondary walls extending from said side wall and extending over a portion of said main wall toward said central opening, with said secondary walls being spaced from said main wall by said side wall, said plurality of secondary walls supporting at least one hinge and at least one latch, said hinge being supported by said main wall and pivotally engaged with said frame thereby allowing said panel to move between said open and closed positions, and said latch being engaged with said frame to hold said panel in said closed position and disengaged with said frame when said panel is in said open position.
A luminaire housing, comprising:
- a frame;
- and
- a panel releasably coupled to said frame and movable between open and closed positions with respect to said frame, said panel having
- a main wall for supporting a luminaire and including an outer perimeter,
- a side wall extending from said outer perimeter of said main wall,
- at least one secondary wall extending from said side wall and over a portion of said main wall, said secondary wall including a guide slot with first and second opposite ends, and
- a first latch supported by said secondary wall, said first latch including a latching plate and a coupling extension extending from said latching plate and through said guide slot of said secondary wall coupling said latching plate to said secondary wall, said coupling extension being slidable between said first and second ends of said guide slot to move said latching plate between latched and unlatched positions, respectively.
A luminaire housing, comprising:
- a frame;
- a panel releasably coupled to said frame and movable between open and closed positions with respect to said frame, said panel supporting a luminaire;
- and
- a switch assembly supported by said panel and including a switch housing having a lever pivotally coupled thereto and at least one electrical switch received within said switch housing, said electrical switch being electrically connected to said luminaire, said lever engaging said frame and engaging said electrical switch when said panel is in said closed position thereby turning on power to said luminaire, and said lever being disengaged from said frame and releasing said electrical switch when said panel is in said open position;
- said panel includes a main wall that supports said luminaire and a side wall extending from an outer perimeter of said main wall;
- and
- a secondary wall extends from said side wall and extends over a portion of said main wall, said secondary wall supports said switch assembly.
