An underwater luminaire can include a heat sink and a flexible circuit board having a plurality of light emitting diodes mounted on the heat sink. The flexible circuit board transfers heat from the light emitting diodes to the heat sink. The underwater luminaire can also include a wiring harness for connecting the underwater luminaire to a cable.
UNDERWATER LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND METHOD
An underwater directional light is provided. The directional light includes a lamp assembly, a tube assembly, and a printed circuit board assembly. The lamp assembly includes a housing and a lamp having a plurality of lighting elements. The tube assembly is coupled to the lamp and has a hollow interior. The printed circuit board assembly is mechanically coupled to the tube assembly and electrically coupled to the lamp.
UNDERWATER OPTICAL- AND MOUNTING ASSEMBLY
An assembly, in particular an underwater optical assembly is provided. The assembly comprises a tubular wall mount, a housing and a seal. The wall mount has a cylindrical bore portion and the housing comprises a head and a stem rearwardly protruding from the head along an axis. The head defines a chamber with a window for dry housing an optical device in the chamber and the stem comprising an enclosed channel in fluid communication with the chamber. The stem has a cylindrical stem portion mated to the bore portion. The assembly is configured such that in an assembled configuration the stem portion fits the bore portion in an axial direction, the head is located in front of at least the bore portion of the wall mount, the housing being attached to the wall mount and plugging the wall mount with the seal extending substantially radially between the stem portion and the bore portion sealing the assembly circumferentially watertight. The head has a radial head size and the stem has a radial stem size, wherein the head size is larger than the stem size. The head has one or more circumferential walls forwardly protruding from a substantially radial rear wall, the stem rearwardly protruding from the rear wall. The stem and the one or more circumferential walls each have a thickness in radial direction, defining a rear wall area between a radial outside of the stem and a radial inside of the one or more circumferential walls, wherein the rear wall has, for at least half the radial area a thickness in axial direction that is less than a thickness in radial direction of the circumferential wall, and preferably less than a thickness in radial direction of the stem.
Floating subsurface illumination system
The invention is a floating subsurface illumination system comprising a leak-proof enclosure, DC electric energy subsystem, LED light source subsystem, translucent diffuser, tethering eyelet, switch and charging port.
ADAPTER ASSEMBLY FOR LUMINAIRE
An adapter assembly for securing a luminaire to a niche formed in a wall of a pool or spa. The assembly comprises a mounting bracket having a rear portion shaped and sized to fit within the niche and a front portion comprising a peripheral flange sized to engage the wall surrounding the niche. The mounting bracket enables the luminaire to be secured thereto and be visible from a front side thereof. The assembly includes at least one clamping device attached to the rear portion of the mounting bracket and configured to secure the mounting bracket to the niche. In a preferred embodiment, the clamping device comprises a clamping arm and drive member. The clamping arm is pivotally connected to the mounting bracket such that the mounting bracket is drawn into the niche and the peripheral flange of the mounting bracket is drawn towards the wall surrounding the niche.
Light fixture with internally-loaded multilayer stack for pressure transfer
Submersible lights including housings and a multilayer stack for pressure transfer are disclosed. A transparent pressure-bearing window, a window support structure, a circuit element populated with LEDs, and a pressure support structure may be mounted inside the housing. The support structure may be structured to bear at least some of the pressure applied to the transparent window from external pressure sources. The support structures may also be adapted to transfer thermal energy to an exterior environment such as sea water.
Adjustable underwater light fixture adapter
An underwater light fixture adapter system includes a lighting unit having a housing with at least one light positioned within the housing. An adapter has a substantially cylindrical shape with an open interior portion, wherein at least a portion of the housing is positionable within the open interior portion. A connection system is formed between the adapter and the housing of the lighting unit, wherein the connection system secures the housing to the adapter. At least one pivot contact is formed on an exterior surface of the adapter, the at least one pivot contact having a curved surface, wherein the curved surface is contactable to an inner wall of a niche to allow the housing and adapter to pivot.
Underwater light assembly and method
An underwater directional light is provided. The directional light includes a lamp assembly, a tube assembly, and a printed circuit board assembly. The lamp assembly includes a housing and a lamp having a plurality of lighting elements. The tube assembly is coupled to the lamp and has a hollow interior. The printed circuit board assembly is mechanically coupled to the tube assembly and electrically coupled to the lamp.
Light with expanding compression member
A light includes a body, a front housing secured to a front end of the body, a translating retainer rotatably engaged with the front housing, a slip ring positioned around the front housing and between the translating member and the front end of the body, a compressible ring positioned around the front housing and between the slip ring and the front end of the body, a lens mounted to the front housing, an electronic assembly, and a light emitting element in electrical communication with the electronic assembly and positioned within the lens. Rotation of the translating retainer in a first direction causes the translating retainer to drive the slip ring toward the front end of the body, compressing the compressible ring and causing the compressible ring to bulge outward to contact, and removably engage, an inner wall of a pipe or conduit that the light is positioned in.
Direct wireless control of lighting systems for use in a high-moisture environment
A lighting system for use in a high-moisture environment, such as a swimming pool, includes a lighting unit having a housing and at least one light-emitting device positioned within the housing. A power supply provides power to the light-emitting device. A receiver positioned within the housing operates with a LoRa modulation format. A mobile control unit located remote from the lighting unit is configured to transmit at least one wireless control signal to the receiver, whereby the at least one control signal controls or changes a characteristic of the at least one light-emitting device, such as an on/off state, a color, a lighting effect, or a pattern of display. Related systems and methods for installing a lighting system for use in a high-moisture environment are also disclosed.
