A quick connect mounting assembly for a ceiling fan. The quick connect mounting assembly includes two releasably attachable plates that are easily interconnected to mechanically couple elements of a ceiling fan. The quick connect mounting assembly can be used to mount a ceiling fan switch housing to a ceiling fan motor assembly.

A bracket system for mounting an electrical box and other components to a ceiling structure can include a support bar and a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket can be configured to receive an end of the support bar and selectively secure the support bar at any of a plurality of positions relative to the mounting bracket.

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.

A junction box for a light fixture. The junction box is configured to be mounted to a desired surface within an environment and includes a housing, a bracket coupled to the housing, an internal cavity defined by the housing and the bracket, a driver disposed in the internal cavity, an adapter removably disposed within the internal cavity, and a cover removably coupled to the adapter to selectively close the internal cavity. The cover includes an opening configured to receive a portion of the light fixture to removably couple the light fixture to the junction box. When the cover is coupled to the adapter, the adapter retains the driver in the cavity and prevents access to the driver, and when the cover is removed, the adapter is removable from the cavity, thereby permitting access to the driver.

A system for upgrading and retrofitting existing streetlights. The system enables conventional streetlights using sodium vapor, and other conventional lighting technologies, to be upgraded to more energy efficient and long-lasting LED lighting. At the same time, cellular and wireless communications can be added to the streetlight to provide additional bandwidth over that provided by conventional cell towers. The system can offload bandwidth in otherwise overloaded areas, such as densely populated urban areas. The system can include mini- or micro-cellular routers, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth®, and other micro cellular and wireless technologies. The system can include a light fixture styled to look like existing conventional light fixtures and can be retrofitted to existing streetlight poles and mounts with little, or no, modification to the pole and wiring.

A bracket system for mounting an electrical box and other components to a ceiling structure can include a support bar and a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket can be configured to receive an end of the support bar and selectively secure the support bar at any of a plurality of positions relative to the mounting bracket.

A luminaire is configured to be removably coupled to a fixture, the fixture being removably coupled to a splice box, the luminaire including a housing including a first end and a second end, the first end including a coupling mechanism configured to couple to the fixture; a printed circuit board coupled adjacent the second end; at least one LED physically and electrically coupled to the printed circuit board; a lens couple to the housing over the printed circuit board; an adapter in electrical communication with the printed circuit board, the adapter configured to electrically and physically couple to a socket of the fixture.

Techniques described herein relate to integrating an electronic component into a ceiling mount in a ceiling tile system so as to maintain the aesthetic integrity of the ceiling while providing a suitable structural system to secure the equipment into the ceiling.

The assembly for a cartridge system with a hardwired electrical assembly comprising an adaptor as a separate unit in combination with a detachable quick-connect electrical cartridge, or in the form of two cartridges with male and female electrical connectors and snap-in attachments allowing for the connection of the two cartridges and the electrical connectors. The assembly may also have a retractable cord with a direct electrical connection such as a plug used to electrically connect the cartridge system to a fixture so as to allow the easy installation of a fixture in or on a structure. For example, a ceiling electrical box and mating cartridge may allow for a light fixture to be installed and mounted with no tools.
