VENTILATION HOUSING
A ventilation housing includes a housing and ventilation component. A housing tubular projecting part has a communicating hole between housing inner and outer spaces. The ventilation component has: an attachment member over the projecting part with a contacting inner surface; an attachment member supported ventilation body covering a hole end portion between the inner and outer spaces; and a covering member including peripheral and top parts over the attachment member. At least one ventilation path connects the ventilation body and the outer space. A first contact part between an attachment member outer surface outermost protruding portion and covering member peripheral part inner surface is closer to the inner space than an end portion on the outer space side in a second contact part being a contact portion between the housing projecting part outer surface and the attachment member inner surface.
IN GRADE LIGHT FIXTURE AND SUBASSEMBLIES THEREOF
The present disclosure is directed to in grade light fixtures and recessed luminaires and subassemblies thereof, including, for example, a heat sink (10) and pivot (16) for a recessed luminaire (2), a gasket (100) for the recessed luminaire (2), and an outer box (70) and cover (4) for installation of the recessed luminaire (2). The recessed luminaire (2) comprises: a housing (6) having an internal surface (18); and a light subassembly (8) engaged with a thermally conductive body (10), the light subassembly (8) having a first end (53) and a second end (54), wherein the first end (53) of the light subassembly (8) is pivotally secured to a pivot (16) arranged on, in, or proximate to the internal surface (18) of the housing (6). The thermally conductive body (10) is in thermal contact with the internal surface (18) of the housing (5). The recessed luminaire (2) further comprises a dehumidifier (90).

SURFACE MOUNTED LIGHT FIXTURE AND HEAT DISSIPATING STRUCTURE FOR SAME
A light emitting apparatus includes a light source, a unitary formed heat sink with a plurality of heat dissipating fins, a lensed enclosure that retains a light source and at least one power consuming device other than the light source. The lensed enclosure includes a recessed opening having at least a first wall that terminates at a substantially perpendicular second wall. The plurality of heat dissipating fins are disposed on at least one adjacent exterior side of the walled enclosure, the fins extending outwardly. At least one fin coupled to the heat sink extends beyond the light source, and the heat generated by the light source travels by conduction laterally through the heat sink to the at least one coupled fin.
Apparatus, method, and system for reducing moisture in LED lighting fixtures
Sealed LED lighting fixtures operated under certain conditions (e.g., outdoors, in cold ambient environments, at high operating current, and/or in non-hermetic environments) will oftentimes exhibit condensation on an inner surface of the emitting face of the fixture. When occurring, said condensation impairs the ability to produce useful light—namely, light harnessed and directed in a manner so to provide lighting for a task (or otherwise desired)—by diffusing light emitted from the lighting fixture. Envisioned are apparatus, methods, and systems to reduce moisture in sealed LED lighting fixtures so to reduce or eliminate condensation, and in a manner that addresses both fixtures already in the field and those being assembled.

LED LIGHTING METHODS AND APPARATUS
LED related lighting methods and apparatus are described. Various features relate to water tight light fixtures. Some of the fixtures are spotlights while other fixture are intended for in ground use. The light fixtures in at least some embodiments include power control features. In spotlight embodiments beam angle and power or light output can be controlled without opening the light assembly or compromising the water tight seals which also protect against dirt. In ground embodiments support tilt angle setting which allow a user to set the light fixture to one or more tilt angles. Beam angle can also be changed in some embodiments as well as power control. Beam angle, power control and tilt angle adjustments are supported in some embodiments but need not be supported in all embodiments with some embodiments using one or more of the described features but not all features.

VEHICLE LAMP
A vehicle lamp includes: a circuit board on which a light source is mounted; a heat sink having a front surface or a rear surface to which the circuit board is attached and configured to release heat generated when the light source is driven; and a cooling fan disposed above or below the circuit board and the heat sink. Cooling air generated by the cooling fan flows along the heat sink and the light source.
