Abstract
A light fixture includes a light module and a trim assembly, where the trim assembly is removably coupled to the light module. The light module includes a module assembly that accommodates a light source. Further, the light module includes an additional heat sink that is optionally coupled to the module assembly. The trim assembly includes a lens, a reflector, and a trim. In particular, the reflector is coupled to the trim by inserting tabs extending downwards and substantially perpendicular from a collar of the reflector into through slots on a top collar of the trim such that the lens is securely retained and disposed in between the reflector and the trim.
Claims20
A light fixture comprising:
- a light module that includes a light source;
- and
- a trim assembly that is removably coupled to the light module, the trim assembly comprising:
- a trim comprising a top collar that extends radially outward from a top edge of the trim that defines a lens receiving opening, wherein the top collar comprises one or more through slots;
- a reflector comprising:
- a top edge defining a first opening,
- a bottom edge defining a second opening that is disposed below the first opening,
- a body extending from the top edge of the reflector to the bottom edge of the reflector,
- a collar extending radially outward and substantially horizontally from the bottom edge of the reflector, and
- one or more tabs extending downward and substantially perpendicular to the collar of the reflector from an outer edge of the collar;
- and
- a lens comprising a collar and a curved surface,
- wherein the lens is securely retained between the reflector and the trim such that:
- (a) the collar of the lens is disposed between the collar of the reflector and the top collar of the trim, and (b) the curved surface of the lens is disposed below the second opening of the reflector and received through the lens receiving opening of the trim, and
- wherein the reflector is coupled to the trim by inserting each tab of the one or more tabs of the reflector through a respective through slot of the one or more through slots on the top collar of the trim.

A trim assembly, comprising:
- a trim comprising:
- a trim body that extends from the top annular edge to the bottom annular edge of the trim, wherein the top annular edge defines a lens receiving opening and the bottom annular edge defines a light exit opening,
- a top collar that extends radially outward from a top edge of the trim, wherein the top collar comprises one or more through slots,
- a bottom collar that extends radially outward from a bottom edge of the trim;
- a reflector comprising a collar that extends radially outward from a bottom edge of the reflector, and one or more tabs extending downward and substantially perpendicular to the collar of the reflector from an outer edge of the collar;
- and
- a lens comprising a curved surface and a collar extending radially outward from a top edge of the lens,
- wherein the lens is securely retained between the reflector and the trim such that:
- (a) the collar of the lens is disposed between the collar of the reflector and the top collar of the trim, and (b) the curved surface of the lens is disposed below the reflector and received through the lens receiving opening of the trim, and
- wherein the reflector is coupled to the trim by inserting each tab of the one or more tabs of the reflector through a respective through slot of the one or more through slots on the top collar of the trim.
7 more elements
A light fixture comprising:
- a light module comprising:
- a module assembly, wherein the module assembly comprises:
- an enclosure,
- a wire cover member that is disposed below and coupled to the enclosure, wherein the wire cover member includes an opening, and
- a light source coupled to the enclosure and disposed in between the enclosure and the wire cover member such that the light source is configured to emit light through the opening of the wire cover member;
- and
- a trim assembly that is removably coupled to the light module, the trim assembly comprising:
- a lens;
- a trim comprising a top collar that extends radially outward from a top edge of the trim that defines a lens receiving opening, wherein the top collar comprises one or more through slots;
- and
- a reflector comprising a collar and one or more tabs extending downwards and substantially perpendicular to the collar of the reflector from an outer edge of the collar,
- wherein the reflector is coupled to the trim by inserting each tab of the one or more tabs of the reflector through a respective through slot of the one or more through slots on the top collar of the trim such that the lens is securely retained between the reflector and the trim.
