[18] Figures 1 and 2 illustrate an embodiment of a lighting fixture assembly 10.
While only a section is shown, the lighting fixture assembly can be provided as an elongate assembly that spans the length of a wall as required for the specific installation.
[19] The lighting fixture assembly 10 is intended to provide a replacement for
cornices while also providing illumination of a room.
[20] The lighting fixture assembly 10 is a two-piece assembly including a base
portion 100 for connecting to a wall and a diffuser 120 adapted to connect to the
base portion 100.
[21] The base portion 100 has a first surface 102 and a second surface 104 which
is substantially perpendicular to the first surface 102. The substantially perpendicular
first surface 102 and second surface 104 provide a substantially 900 profile to the
base portion 100 of the lighting fixture assembly 10.
[22] In a particular embodiment, the first surface 102 connects to an upright wall
and the second surface 104 connects to a ceiling that is adjacent and perpendicular
to the upright wall so as to form a mounting for the diffuser (described below) to form
a cornice-like fixture.
[23] The base portion 100 also includes a third surface 106 connected to and
between the first surface 102 and the second surface 104.
[24] The third surface 106 is connected to the first surface 102 and the second
surface 104 at an angle of approximately 450 relative to each of the first surface 102
and the second surface 104.
[25] The angle of the third surface improves the dispersion of the light from a
lighting element located within the lighting fixture assembly 10 as the light is
projected directly at the surface of the diffuser 120.
[26] Formed in an exterior of the base portion 100 are elongate recesses 103 in
the first surface 102 and the second surface 104. In use, the elongate recesses 103 receive an adhesive (such as double sided tape, for example) to adhere the base portion 100 to a wall, ceiling or similar surfaces. The base portion 100 can be secured to a surface using screws.
[27] The base portion may be made from die-extruded medium density
polypropylene or other suitable materials, including, but not limited to, recycled
plastic, ABS or foamed polystyrene.
[28] The lighting fixture assembly 10 also includes a diffuser 120 adapted to
connect to the base portion 100. The diffuser 120 allows light emitted by a lighting
element (discussed in more detail below) to diffuse therethrough and is made from a
transparent, translucent, or semi-transparent material.
[29] In the illustrated embodiment, the diffuser 120 comprises an arcuate panel
that is connected to an end of the first surface 102 and an end of the second surface
104 of the base portion 100. The end of the first surface 102 is distally located
relative to the end of the second surface 104.
[30] While the embodiments shown illustrate an arcuate diffuser that is concave
(or cove shaped), the diffuser can be any shape and/or have any profile. For
example, the diffuser may be convex, straight or stepped.
[31] The base portion 100 and the diffuser 120 are adapted for connection by a
connecting arrangement in the form of a snap-fit assembly 130. The snap-fit
assembly 130 includes a projection 132 and a reciprocal channel 134 for receiving
the projection 132.
[32] In the illustrated embodiment, a projection 132 is located on opposed ends of
the diffuser 120 to be received within reciprocal channels 134 located on respective
ends of the first surface 102 and the second surface 104.
[33] The diffuser 120 may be made from low density polypropylene or any suitable
translucent material to allow light to diffuse therethrough.
[34] In some embodiments shown in Figures 3 and 4, the lighting fixture assembly
also includes a lighting element 140 in the form of an electric lighting element.
The lighting element 140 includes a strip (or a plurality of strips as shown in the
illustrations) of light emitting diodes (LEDs). The LEDs may be programmable or
adjustable to display light at varying wavelengths and colours (e.g. RGB lights). In
the illustrated embodiment, the lighting element 140 produces standard white light
and a second lighting element 140a can selectively produce varying colours using
sets of RGB LEDs therein.
[35] The lighting element 140 is to be located between the diffuser 120 and the
base portion 100 on the third surface 106 of the base portion 100 and within a
chamber 108 formed by the base portion 100 and the diffuser 120 when connected
together.
[36] In some embodiments, the third surface 106 includes a secondary connecting
arrangement (not shown), in the form of a C-Channel, for receiving the lighting
element 140 therein.
[37] In use, the second surface 104 of the base portion 100 is affixed to an upright
wall and the first surface 102 of the base portion 100 is affixed to a ceiling that
adjoins the upright wall. The first surface 102 and the second surface 104 may be
affixed via an adhesive double-sided tape and also held fast with screws that are
inserted through the base portion into the upright wall and/or ceiling.
[38] A lighting element 140 is then affixed to the base portion 100 (preferably on
the third surface 106 but it may be placed otherwise). Subsequently, the diffuser 120
is connected to the base portion 100 via the snap-fit assembly 130.
[39] The assembled lighting fixture assembly 10 can be then powered to illuminate
the room or space that the assembly is located in.
[40] Figures 5 to 8 show a second embodiment of the lighting fixture assembly 20.
[41] The lighting fixture assembly 20 is a two-piece assembly including a base
portion 200 for connecting to a wall and a diffuser 220 adapted to connect to the
base portion 200.
[42] The base portion 200 has a first surface 202 and a second surface 204 which
is substantially perpendicular to the first surface 202. The substantially perpendicular
first surface 202 and second surface 204 provide a substantially 900 profile to the
base portion 200 of the lighting fixture assembly 20.
[43] In a particular embodiment, the first surface 202 connects to an upright wall
and the second surface 204 connects to a ceiling that is adjacent and perpendicular
to the upright wall so as to form a mounting for the diffuser (described below) to form
a cornice-like fixture.
[44] The base portion 200 also includes a third surface 206 connected to and
between the first surface 202 and the second surface 204.
[45] The third surface 206 is connected to the first surface 202 and the second
surface 204 at an angle of approximately 450 relative to each of the first surface 202
and the second surface 204.
[46] The angle of the third surface 206 improves the dispersion of the light from a
lighting element located within the lighting fixture assembly 20 as the light is
projected directly at the surface of the diffuser 220.
[47] Formed in an exterior of the base portion 200 are elongate recesses 203 in
the first surface 202 and the second surface 204. In use, the elongate recesses 203 receive an adhesive (such as double sided tape 205, for example) to adhere the base portion 200 to a wall, ceiling or similar surfaces.
[48] The base portion may be made from die-extruded medium density
polypropylene or other suitable materials, including, but not limited to, recycled
plastic, ABS or foamed polystyrene.
[49] The lighting fixture assembly 20 also includes a diffuser 220 adapted to
connect to the base portion 200. The diffuser 220 allows light emitted by a lighting
element (discussed in more detail below) to diffuse therethrough and is made from a
transparent, translucent, or semi-transparent material.
[50] In the illustrated embodiment, the diffuser 220 comprises an arcuate panel
that is connected to an end of the first surface 202 and an end of the second surface
204 of the base portion 200. The end of the first surface 202 is distally located
relative to the end of the second surface 204.
[51] While the embodiments shown illustrate an arcuate diffuser that is concave
(or cove shaped), the diffuser can be any shape and/or have any profile. For
example, the diffuser may be convex, straight or stepped.
[52] The base portion 200 and the diffuser 220 are adapted for connection by a
connecting arrangement in the form of a snap-fit assembly 230. The snap-fit
assembly 230 includes a projection 232 and a reciprocal channel 234 for receiving
the projection 232.
[53] In the illustrated embodiment, a projection 232 is located on opposed ends of
the base portion 200 to be received within reciprocal channels 234 located on
respective ends of the diffuser 220.
[54] The diffuser 220 may be made from low density polypropylene or any suitable
translucent material to allow light to diffuse therethrough.
[55] In some embodiments, as shown in the figures, the lighting fixture assembly
also includes two lighting elements: a first lighting element 240a and a second
lighting element 240b in the form of electric lighting elements. The first and second
lighting elements 240a, 240b each include a strip (or a plurality of strips as shown in
the illustrations) of light emitting diodes (LEDs). The LEDs may be programmable or
adjustable to display light at varying wavelengths and colours (e.g. RGB lights). In
the illustrated embodiment, the first lighting element 240a produces standard white
light and the second lighting element 240b can selectively produce varying colours
using sets of RGB LEDs therein.
[56] The first and second lighting elements 240a, 240b are to be located between
the diffuser 220 and the base portion 200 on the third surface 206 of the base portion
200 and within a chamber 208 formed by the base portion 200 and the diffuser 220
when connected together.
[57] As can be seen in the illustrations, a cover panel 206a is connected to the
third surface 206 of the base portion 200 to cover the first and second lighting
elements 240a, 240b. This helps retain the first and second lighting elements 240a,
240b in place within the lighting fixture assembly 20.
[58] The cover panel 206a connects to the base portion 200 via a snap fit (or clip
on) assembly but could be connected using other suitable means.
[59] The cover panel 206a is shaped and configured to sit close to the lighting
elements.
[60] The cover panel 206a may be provided as an elongate member or in small
segments (e.g. 20mm). The cover panel 206a can be used to hold the lighting
elements in place when changing from one profile to another (e.g. at 900 corners) and when DC power cables are connected at the start of a run of the base portion
200.
[61] In the illustrated embodiment shown in Figures 5 to 8, the third surface 206
also includes a rear channel 206b formed in one side of the third surface 206
opposed to the lighting elements 240a, 240b.
[62] Each of the first surface 202 and the second surface 204 also include a
channel 202a, 204a, respectively. These channels 202a, 204a are cable channels
(for use with 5mm diameter cable, for example, but may be sized for other cables)
which suitably sized cables to be clipped into the channels 202a, 204a. This is
particularly useful where access to the power supply or controller is not at the end of
a run of the base portion 200.
[63] In use, the second surface 204 of the base portion 200 is affixed to an upright
wall and the first surface 202 of the base portion 200 is affixed to a ceiling that
adjoins the upright wall. The first surface 202 and the second surface 204 may be
affixed via an adhesive double-sided tape and also held fast with screws that are
inserted through the base portion into the upright wall and/or ceiling.
[64] The first and second lighting elements 240a, 240b are then affixed to the base
portion 200 (preferably on the third surface 206 but it may be placed otherwise).
[65] The cover panel 206a is then connected to the base portion 200.
[66] Subsequently, the diffuser 220 is connected to the base portion 200 via the
snap-fit assembly 230.
[67] Figure 9 shows a third embodiment of the lighting fixture assembly 30.
[68] The lighting fixture assembly 30 is a two-piece assembly including a base
portion 300 for connecting to a wall and a diffuser 320 adapted to connect to the
base portion 300.
[69] The base portion 300 has a first surface 302 and a second surface 304 which
is substantially perpendicular to the first surface 302. The substantially perpendicular
first surface 302 and second surface 304 provide a substantially 900 profile to the
base portion 300 of the lighting fixture assembly 30.
[70] In a particular embodiment, the first surface 302 connects to an upright wall
and the second surface 304 connects to a ceiling that is adjacent and perpendicular
to the upright wall so as to form a mounting for the diffuser (described below) to form
a cornice-like fixture.
[71] The base portion 300 also includes a third surface 306 connected to and
between the first surface 302 and the second surface 304.
[72] The third surface 306 is connected to the first surface 302 and the second
surface 304 at an angle of approximately 450 relative to each of the first surface 302
and the second surface 304.
[73] The angle of the third surface 306 improves the dispersion of the light from a
lighting element located within the lighting fixture assembly 30 as the light is
projected directly at the surface of the diffuser 320.
[74] Formed in an exterior of the base portion 300 are elongate recesses 303 in
the first surface 302 and the second surface 304. In use, the elongate recesses 303
receive an adhesive to adhere the base portion 300 to a wall, ceiling or similar
surfaces, as in the previous embodiments.
[75] The base portion 300 may be made from die-extruded medium density
polypropylene or other suitable materials, including, but not limited to, recycled
plastic, ABS or foamed polystyrene.
[76] The lighting fixture assembly 30 also includes a diffuser 320 adapted to
connect to the base portion 300. The diffuser 320 allows light emitted by a lighting element (discussed in more detail below) to diffuse therethrough and is made from a transparent, translucent, or semi-transparent material.
[77] In the illustrated embodiment, the diffuser 320 comprises an arcuate panel
that is connected to an end of the first surface 302 and an end of the second surface
304 of the base portion 300. The end of the first surface 302 is distally located
relative to the end of the second surface 304.
[78] While the embodiments shown illustrate an arcuate diffuser that is concave
(or cove shaped), the diffuser can be any shape and/or have any profile. For
example, the diffuser may be convex, straight or stepped. The diffuser may also
include various carvings, etchings or patterns on the surface to further emulate the
appearance of a regular cornice, particularly when the lights are off.
[79] The base portion 300 and the diffuser 320 are adapted for connection by a
connecting arrangement in the form of a snap-fit assembly 330. The snap-fit
assembly 330 includes a projection 332 and a reciprocal channel 334 for receiving
the projection 332.
[80] In the illustrated embodiment, a projection 332 is located on opposed ends of
the base portion 300 to be received within reciprocal channels 334 located on
respective ends of the diffuser 320, forming a snap fit assembly 330.
[81] The diffuser 320 may be made from low density polypropylene or any suitable
translucent material to allow light to diffuse therethrough.
[82] In some embodiments, the lighting fixture assembly 30 also includes two
lighting elements: a first lighting element 340a and a second lighting element 340b in
the form of electric lighting elements. The first and second lighting elements 340a,
340b each include a strip (or a plurality of strips) of light emitting diodes (LEDs). The
LEDs may be programmable or adjustable to display light at varying wavelengths and colours (e.g. RGB lights). In the illustrated embodiment, the first lighting element
340a produces standard white light and the second lighting element 340b can
selectively produce varying colours using sets of RGB LEDs therein.
[83] The first and second lighting elements 340a, 340b are to be located between
the diffuser 320 and the base portion 300 on the third surface 306 of the base portion
300 and within a chamber 308 formed by the base portion 300 and the diffuser 320
when connected together.
[84] As can be seen in the illustrations, a cover panel 306a is connected to the
third surface 306 of the base portion 300 to cover the first and second lighting
elements 340a, 340b. This helps retain the first and second lighting elements 340a,
340b in place within the lighting fixture assembly 30.
[85] The cover panel 306a connects to the base portion 300 via a snap fit (or clip
on) assembly but could be connected using other suitable means.
[86] The cover panel 306a is shaped and configured to sit close to the lighting
elements.
[87] The cover panel 306a may be provided as an elongate member or in small
segments (e.g. 20mm). The cover panel 306a can be used to hold the lighting
elements in place when changing from one profile to another (e.g. at 900 corners)
and when DC power cables are connected at the start of a run of the base portion
300.
[88] In the illustrated embodiment shown in Figure 9, the third surface 306 also
includes a rear channel 306b formed in one side of the third surface 306 opposed to
the lighting elements 340a, 340b.
[89] Each of the first surface 302 and the second surface 304 also include a
channel 302a, 304a, respectively. These channels 302a, 304a are cable channels
(for use with 5mm diameter cable, for example, but may be sized for other cables)
which suitably sized cables to be clipped into the channels 302a, 304a. This is
particularly useful where access to the power supply or controller is not at the end of
a run of the base portion 300.
[90] Formed in an exterior of the base portion 300 are sealant channels 303a in
the first surface 302 and the second surface 304. These sealant channels 303a may
be located in exterior portion of first surface 302 and the second surface 304 that is
located opposite the interior facing projection 332. In use these sealant channels
303a may have a gap sealing material 307 such as silicon sealer applied within. This
is particularly useful when the wall and/or ceiling to which the lighting fixture
assembly 30 is affixed is not perfectly straight and/or flat.
[91] In use, the second surface 304 of the base portion 300 is affixed to an upright
wall and the first surface 302 of the base portion 300 is affixed to a ceiling that
adjoins the upright wall. The first surface 302 and the second surface 304 may be
affixed via an adhesive double-sided tape and also held fast with screws that are
inserted through the base portion into the upright wall and/or ceiling. A gap sealing
material 307 should be applied to sealant channels 303a as necessary prior to base
portion 300 being affixed to the wall and/or ceiling.
[92] The first and second lighting elements 340a, 340b are then affixed to the base
portion 300 (preferably on the third surface 306 but it may be placed otherwise).
[93] The cover panel 306a is then connected to the base portion 300.
[94] Subsequently, the diffuser 320 is connected to the base portion 300 via the
snap-fit assembly 330.
[95] The lighting fixture assembly can be provided in varying lengths, dimensions,
shapes and profiles without deviating from the embodiments described herein.
[96] The lighting fixture assembly, advantageously, can be used as a cornice and
standard lighting fixture replacement, and provide a convenient way to illuminate the
entirety of a room.
