In one example embodiment, a device mounting system is provided for in-wall and/or in-ceiling use in residential and commercial structures, suitable for both retro-fit and new construction applications. The system includes a mounting ring and a device can. The mounting ring is installed directly into a hole cut at a selected location in the wall or ceiling or into a pre-construction bracket arranged in the wall or ceiling. The device can is later inserted into the mounting ring and retained therein by a combination of a number of magnets that are attracted to a mounting ring flange and a number of spring clips that engage an inner face of a mounting ring body.

A commercial lighting system, the system comprising, an integral housing adapted to be coupled to a ceiling of a building, a lighting unit mounted to the integral housing and a loudspeaker assembly mounted to the integral housing, the loudspeaker assembly comprising a low directivity index, and oriented to provide an acoustic sound signal from the integral housing to a listener in an area of the building comprising the ceiling.

A construction component forms at least a part of a structure that faces a target space. The construction component has a first function, a second function, and a third function. The first function is a function of emitting illumination light toward the target space. The second function is a function of allowing incident light to enter the construction component. The incident light is emitted from a light source disposed out of a projection area, viewed from the target space, of the construction component and is incident on the construction component via a light transmission member. The third function is a function of converting the incident light into the illumination light.

In a lighting system an optical fiber includes a light incident portion, a light emerging portion, and a wavelength-converting portion. The wavelength-converting portion is provided between the light incident portion and the light emerging portion. The wavelength-converting portion contains a wavelength-converting element which is excited by excitation light and amplifies a spontaneous emission of light, having a longer wavelength than the excitation light, with an amplified spontaneous emission of light. A first light source unit makes the excitation light incident on the light incident portion. A second light source unit makes seed light, which causes the wavelength-converting element excited by the excitation light and the amplified spontaneous emission of light to produce a stimulated emission of light, incident on the light incident portion. A lighting unit, into an external space, light emerging from the light emerging portion of the optical fiber.

A linear luminaire includes a linear channel defining an interior space and a linear light inset configured for being inserted into the channel in the interior space. The light inset includes a cover and a printed circuit board fixed to the cover. The printed circuit board supports a plurality of light emitting diodes. The cover base wall includes a translucent portion. The light emitting diodes are arranged for emitting light through the translucent portion. The cover includes two cover connectors, each configured for being snapped into the channel to hold the cover in the interior space. The cover connectors are on an opposite side of the printed circuit board as the translucent portion.

A wall wash recessed light fixture has a light engine assembly has an aperture, an LED module operable to emit light through the aperture, a lens disposed between the LED module and the aperture, and a reflector disposed between the LED module and the lens. The LED module has an optical axis passing through the aperture and substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis (Z). The lens has a first side forming a plano-convex lens with a convex surface facing the LED module and has a second side with a Fresnel lens surface facing the aperture, and the lens is aligned at an oblique angle Θ.sub.1 relative to the optical axis of the LED module. A diffuser is disposed between the lens and the aperture. The plano-convex lens has a principal axis aligned at the oblique angle Θ.sub.1 relative to the optical axis of the LED module.

An LED downlighting apparatus includes a housing with a sidewall having a front facing edge and a back facing edge positioned adjacent to a ceiling when the LED downlighting apparatus is installed in an opening of the ceiling. A depth of the sidewall is less than one inch and a thickness of at least a portion of the sidewall is less than three millimeters. An LED board and a lens are coupled to the housing. The lens is disposed with respect to the LED board such that the lens is illuminated from a back side. One or more mechanical couplers snap fit the apparatus to a junction box installed and positioned above the ceiling such that when the apparatus is snap fit to the junction box through the opening of the ceiling, the housing appears to be surface mounted to the ceiling.

A lighting apparatus includes a light source, a light passing cover, a back cover and a rim frame. The light source is used for emitting a light. The light passing cover has a first ladder edge. The rim frame has an inner frame and a light source holder. The back cover, the surface rim and the light passing cover define a concealed space. The light source is disposed in the light source holder in the concealed space. The inner frame defines a light opening for the light to escape from the lighting apparatus. The inner frame has a second ladder edge surrounding the light opening. The first ladder edge and the second ladder edge are pressed by the back cover to press to each other. Multiple ladder protrusion surfaces between the first ladder edge and the second ladder edge prevent water to enter the concealed space.

A lighting apparatus includes a dome housing, a first rotation shaft, a light body, a second rotation shaft and a rotation bracket. The dome housing includes a rim part and a container part. The container part defines a semi-sphere space. The rim part conceals an installation cavity for installing the lighting apparatus. The light body includes a light source. The light body is attached to the container part with the first rotation shaft. The light body is rotatable with respect to the container part along the first rotation shaft for a first rotation direction. The rotation shaft is disposed to the container part with a tilt offset from a top center of the container part. The rotation bracket has a fixing bracket and a central part.

A twist-and-lock mounting bracket may secure a lighting fixture to a mounting surface. The twist-and-lock mounting bracket may define an aperture having features corresponding to the shape of a twist-and-lock element disposed on a housing of a lighting fixture. Accordingly, the twist-and-lock element may be configured to extend through the aperture while the corresponding features of the twist-and-lock element and the aperture are aligned. The housing may then be rotated such that the tabs do not align with the corresponding features of the aperture, and the twist-and-lock element is thereby prevented from sliding through the aperture. The mounting bracket may be secured to a junction box positioned within a mounting surface, or it may be secured to a biasing bracket having one or more second resilient members configured to engage the interior of a recessed can light, such that the lighting fixture may be secured to the recessed can light.
