Abstract
A recessed lighting fixture, comprising a non-metallic housing having a central opening adapted to receive an LED lamp therethrough. The housing is formed of a front-facing trim ring surrounding the central opening and a rear portion coupled to a rear of the trim ring about the LED lamp. The rear portion includes at least two peripheral flanges that extend backward from the trim ring and terminate in a spring-clip support. A spring clip is coupled to each of the spring clip supports and is rotatably biased toward a front of the housing to bear against a backside of a recessed opening when the housing is inserted into the recessed opening and when the trim ring bears against a frontside of the recessed opening.
Claims14
A recessed lighting fixture, comprising:
- a non-metallic housing having a central opening adapted to receive an LED lamp therethrough, the housing formed of a front-facing trim ring and a rear portion disposed along and about the central opening, the rear portion being releasably coupled to a rear of the trim ring so as to be assembled around the LED lamp received within the central opening, wherein the rear portion includes at least two rearwardly-extending peripheral flanges on opposed sides of the central opening that each terminate in a spring-clip support;
- a spring clip coupled to each of the spring clip supports and rotatably biased toward a front of the housing so as to bear against a backside of a recessed opening of a wall or ceiling when the housing is inserted into the recessed opening of the wall or ceiling so that the trim ring bears against a front side of the recessed opening;
- an annular flange extending rearwardly from a back side of the trim ring and surrounding the central opening, wherein the annular flange includes a lip within the central opening adjacent the front face of the trim ring;
- annular side walls of the rear portion adapted to receive the annular flange of the trim ring when the trim ring and rear portion are assembled together;
- and
- a back wall of the rear portion having a rear opening with a diameter less than an inside diameter defined by an interior wall of the annular flange, the recessed lighting fixture housing being configured so that an LED lamp is received through a front face of the trim ring through the central opening and retained against the back wall.
A recessed lighting fixture, comprising:
- an LED lamp having a light emitting face and a conical body rearward of the light emitting face with heat dissipating surfaces formed thereon;
- a non-metallic housing assembled around the LED lamp and having a central opening into which the LED lamp is received, an annular trim ring surrounding the light emitting face of the LED lamp, a lip extending into the central opening, and rearwardly projecting flanges spaced from the heat dissipating surfaces of the LED lamp conical body;
- and
- a retaining clip supported on the lip and bearing against the LED lamp and the non-metallic housing to retain the LED lamp within the central opening.
A recessed lighting fixture, comprising:
- a non-metallic housing having a central opening passing completely through the housing and adapted to receive an LED lamp therethrough, the housing formed of a front-facing trim ring having a lip extending into the central opening and a rear portion disposed along and about the central opening, the rear portion being releasably coupled to a rear of the trim ring so as to be assembled around the LED lamp received within the central opening and configured to allow a rear of the LED lamp to extend out a rear end of the housing so that a heatsink on the LED lamp is exposed, wherein the rear portion includes at least two rearwardly-extending peripheral flanges on opposed sides of the central opening that each terminate in a spring-clip support;
- a spring clip coupled to each of the spring clip supports and rotatably biased toward a front of the housing so as to bear against a backside of a recessed opening of a wall or ceiling when the housing is inserted into the recessed opening of the wall or ceiling so that the trim ring bears against a front side of the recessed opening.
