A light converter comprises: a solid-state optical member configured to absorb light of an excitation wavelength and generate light of an emission wavelength; a base; and a mechanical fastener attaching the solid-state optical member to the base. The light converter may be part of a light engine, a phosphor wheel or an automotive headlight. A method of manufacturing such a phosphor wheel is also provided.

An LED bulb includes a center ring, a burner and an elastic component. The center ring includes a central opening, a first flat rim extending along a first part of an outer edge of the central opening, and a first notch cut-out beyond the central opening at an end of the first flat rim. The burner is disposed at least in part in the central opening and includes a first pin that has a first flat side face. The elastic component is configured to press the first flat rim of the center ring against the first flat side face of the first pin of the burner.

A recessed light fixture configured to deliver indirect light to an area. The recessed light fixture includes a trim component, a reflector coupled to the trim component, and an annular ring including a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The trim component has an outer wall and an inner wall spaced radially inward of the outer wall, and defines an annular recess between the outer and inner walls. The reflector includes a patterned reflective surface. The annular ring is arranged within the annular recess of the trim component. The LEDs are configured to emit light toward the reflector so that the reflector redirects the light to deliver the indirect light to the area.

An exterior rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a turn signal unit having a housing, a light source and a lens disposed in front of the light source and attached at the housing. The turn signal unit includes an aperture element disposed between the light source and the lens, and includes a film disposed between the lens and the housing so as to be in front of the light source. With the exterior rearview mirror assembly disposed at a side of the vehicle, light emitted by the light source, when powered, passes through the film and through an aperture of the aperture element and through the lens in the forward direction of travel of the equipped vehicle. The film includes structured sections such that light emitted by the light source, when powered, passes through the structured sections of the film and forms an illuminated logo.

A quick-change lighting assembly includes a stationary ring, a plurality of clips, and a compression ring arranged between the stationary ring and the clips. Each clip has a retaining end and moves between a retaining and a releasing position, whereby the retaining end is deflected against the compression member when moving from the retaining position to the releasing position. The compression member can move towards the stationary member from an extended position, such that movement of the clips moves the compression member from the extended position to a first position. The clips accept a flange of a socket assembly, the flange defects the retaining ends from the retaining position to the releasing position until the flange directly engages the compression member and further translates the compression member to a second compressed position and the clips return to the retaining position below the flange.

A lighting fixture includes a light engine elastically coupled to a front ring module. The light engine includes a heat sink and at least one biasing member is coupled between the heat sink and the front ring module. The at least one biasing member is configured to urge the front ring module toward the heat sink. The biasing member could be a spring or an elastic band.

A quick-change lighting assembly includes a stationary ring, a plurality of clips, and a compression ring arranged between the stationary ring and the clips. Each clip has a retaining end and moves between a retaining and a releasing position, whereby the retaining end is deflected against the compression member when moving from the retaining position to the releasing position. The compression member can move towards the stationary member from an extended position, such that movement of the clips moves the compression member from the extended position to a first position. The clips accept a flange of a socket assembly, the flange defects the retaining ends from the retaining position to the releasing position until the flange directly engages the compression member and further translates the compression member to a second compressed position and the clips return to the retaining position below the flange.

A lighting arrangement can include a light emitter portion and a battery backup portion. The light emitter portion can have a plurality of light emitting diodes and circuitry including a rectifier for driving the light emitting diodes. The battery backup portion can be in electronic communication with the rectifier of the light emitter portion and have a battery portion and a converter portion with a DC-AC inverter and a microcontroller unit configured to route AC power to the rectifier from either a primary AC source or the battery portion. The light emitter portion can be configured to be mounted to at least one of a wall and a ceiling during use. The battery backup portion can be positioned within the trim, with the plurality of light emitting diodes in the array string.

A device for retrofitting an existing trimmed recessed lighting fixture for installation of a trimless recessed light fixture may include a collar section configured to be received within an opening of a housing of the existing trimmed recessed lighting fixture installed above a ceiling surface, the collar section including a proximal section configured to be fitted within the opening of the housing; a surface being secured the collar section, the surface being configured to lie flush against the ceiling and to be joined integrally to the ceiling; and a baffle being releasably lockable to the collar section. A kit including the device and a method of retrofitting an existing trimmed recessed lighting fixture are also disclosed.

A ceiling mountable LED light fixture is described and wherein at least two sets of LED's of different correlated color temperatures (CCT) are mounted in its housing. The LED light fixture is adapted to be removably secured in a housing mounting hole in a ceiling sheeting material. A cable is secured to the light fixture to supply drive current to the LED sets. A toggle switch is mounted in the cable in close proximity to the light fixture. The cable also has a predetermined length and is also secured at a far end to a driver circuit mounted in a driver housing. The driver housing is positioned behind the ceiling sheeting material spaced from the housing mounting hole. The toggle switch is made accessible and visible by simply withdrawing the light fixture from its mounting hole and by displacing a slide switch button to select one of three positions to energize a selected one of both sets of LED's or both sets of LED's simultaneously whereby to cause the LED light fixture to generate one of three different color temperature (CCT) light.
