Title:
MODULAR INDIRECT SUSPENDED/CEILING MOUNT FIXTURE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/016079
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A modular troffer-style fixture particularly well- suited for use with solid state light sources. The fixture comprises a reflector (102) that includes parallel rails running along its length, providing a mount mechanism and structural support. An exposed heat sink (500) is disposed proximate to the reflector. The portion of the heat sink facing the reflector functions as a mount surface for the light sources. The heat sink is hollow through the center in the longitudinal direction. The hollow portion defines a conduit through which electrical conductors can be run to power light emitters. One or more light sources disposed along the heat sink mount surface emit light toward the reflector where it can be mixed and/or shaped before it is emitted from the troffer as useful light. End caps (110) are arranged at both ends of the reflector and heat sink, allowing for the easy connection of multiple units in a serial arrangement.
