Abstract
A recessed lighting device includes an electrical component housing that has a cavity. The recessed lighting device also includes a plaster ring that includes a plaster plate that has an opening therethrough. The plaster ring also includes a body extending substantially orthogonally from a perimeter of the opening towards the electrical component housing. The recessed lighting device further includes an illuminated panel that includes an electrical component assembly inserted through the opening and into the cavity, where the electrical component assembly is positioned within the electrical component housing.
Claims10
A recessed lighting device, comprising:
- an electrical component housing comprising a cavity therein;
- a plaster ring comprising:
- a plaster plate comprising an opening therethrough;
- and
- a body extending substantially orthogonally from a perimeter of the opening towards the electrical component housing;
- and
- an illuminated panel comprising an electrical component assembly inserted through the opening and into the cavity, wherein the electrical component assembly is positioned within the electrical component housing, wherein the body comprises one or more snap slots formed therein and wherein the electrical component assembly comprises one or more snap clips extending outwardly from an exterior surface of the electrical component assembly, the snap clips being removably coupled to the snap slots.
A recessed lighting device, comprising:
- an electrical component housing comprising a cavity therein;
- a plaster ring comprising:
- a plaster plate comprising an opening therethrough;
- and
- a body extending substantially orthogonally from a perimeter of the opening towards the electrical component housing;
- and
- an illuminated panel comprising an electrical component assembly inserted through the opening and into the cavity, wherein the electrical component assembly is positioned within the electrical component housing, wherein the electrical component assembly comprises an aperture formed at one end, and positioned adjacent the opening of the plaster plate, and wherein the electrical component assembly further comprises:
- an internal power source;
- and
- one or more light sources electrically coupled to the internal power source, wherein the one or more light sources comprise light emitting diodes (LEDs) and wherein a lens inserted within the aperture extends beyond a profile of the electrical component assembly.
