DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(11) Provided is a thin fire rate rated recessed light fixture. FIG. 1 illustrates an exploded view of the fire-resistant light fixture. The light fixture has a body 1. The body 1 can be made from a metal with a high melting point, such as steel. The body 1 can be made a uniform cast steel. The body 1 can have a circular side wall, a closed top, and an open bottom. A flange portion can extend from the bottom portion of the sidewall to all around the side wall. The tip of the flange portion can further have an upwardly portion all around the outside tip of the flange portion.

(12) The top of the body 1 is closed. The center part of the body 1 can have a downwardly depression. The depression can be circularly shaped other than fora portion where the wire leaves the body 1. The body 1 can have fastener openings on top for attaching clip holder 8 and wire guide 10.

(13) A circular LED board 2 configured to rest on one of its sides is placed inside of body 1 against the sidewall of the body 1. Reflective paper 4 rests below and against a depression on the top of the body 1. LED lights sources 3 are placed on the inner side of the LED Board 2.

(14) Light guide 5 which is typically made from transparent glass or plastic that is placed directly, in front of the LED light sources 3. The body 1 is circular and can have a height of 15 mm to 22 mm, such as 17 mm to 20 mm, such as 18.5 mm. The depression can have a height of 3 mm to 7 mm, such as about 5.5 mm.

(15) The light from the LED light sources 3 travels to inside of the light guide 5 from the sides of the light guide 5. The light then leaves the light guide 5.

(16) A lens 6 is placed below the light guide 5. The diffuser lens 6 can be made from plastic or glass. The diffuser lens 6 can be a translucent or semi-transparent cover that spreads out or scatters light. The diffuser lens 6 can control brightness and give off a soft light.

(17) A ring 7 is placed below the lens 6. The ring 7 can be made from a non-metallic material such as plastic with a high melting point, and is pushed against inside of body 1. The plastic can have high tear and tensile strength, and resistant to high temperatures. The ring 7 can be manipulated by hand (the plastic is not rigid), and is stretchable. The ring 7 is attached tightly without a fastener to inside of the body 1, and keeps the components of the body 1 inside of the body 1.

(18) The top of the body 1 can have two openings on opposite sides for attachment of clip holders 8. Clips 9 can be attached to clip holder 8. Each clip 9 can have a spring for keeping the clip 9 in place. The clip holder 8, clip 9 and its spring, as well as all the fasteners can be made from steel and be resistant to melting in the event of a fire.

(19) The top of the body 1 can have a circular depression, all along or partially on top of the body. As illustrated, the top of the body 1 has a partially circular depression. The non-circular portion that curves inwardly is positioned next to where a wire comes out of the body 1. An opening exists on top of the body 1 for a wire come out. Wire guide 10, which can be made from steel, is fastened to two openings on the body 1, and covers the wire opening and the wire.

(20) FIG. 2 illustrates a bottom perspective view of the light fixture. Illustrated in this view are clips 9, body 1, lens 6, and ring 7.

(21) FIG. 3 illustrates a bottom view of the light fixture. Visible in this view are the lens 6 and ring 7.

(22) FIG. 4 illustrates a side view of the light fixture. Visible in this view are body 1 and clip 9.

(23) FIG. 5 illustrates aside view of the light fixture. Visible in this view are body 1 and clip 9.

(24) FIG. 6 illustrates a top view of the light fixture. Illustrated in this view are body 1, clip holder 8, clip 9, and wire guide 10. Visible in this view is the circular depression on the top of body 1 with a partially inwardly curved portion.

(25) FIGS. 7 and 8 illustrate a top perspective view of the light fixture. Illustrated in this view are wire guide 10, clip 9, and body 1.

(26) FIG. 9 illustrates a top plan view of the light fixture. Illustrated in this view are wire guide 10 clip 9, and body IL.

(27) FIG. 10 illustrates a side cut-off view of the light fixture. As shown, the reflective paper 4 is placed inside of the body and the top of the reflective paper 4 contacts the bottom of the top portion of the body 1. Specifically, the top of the reflective paper 4 contacts the bottom of the depression formed on the top of the body. Light guide 5 is placed under the reflective paper 4. The reflective paper 4 makes contact along all of the top of the light guide 5, and makes the light reflect downwardly. The sides of the light guide 5 are positioned directly against the LED light sources 3, making the light move into the light guide 5 from the sides.

(28) The light fixture can be 3 or 4 or 6 inch fire rated round slim LED. It can be 8 w, 12 w, or It can produce 500 to 1100 lumens. It can have TRIAC dimming controls. It can have LEDs with multiple colors, and produce light of 27 k/30 k/35 k/40 k/50 k 90 cri white.

(29) As used herein, fire-resistant or fire rated means complying with a 2-hour fire rating test, based on at least any one of these standards: UL 263, ASTM E119 and CAN ULC S101.
