Abstract

A wall mounted light fixture includes a body at least partially defining a housing. The body has a first side facing an interior of the housing and a second side facing the exterior of the housing. The first side of the body has a plurality of front connecting features and the second side of the body has a plurality of rear connecting features. A light emitter is positioned in the interior of the housing and supported by the first side of the body. A lens is connected to at least one of the front connecting features. A mounting component is connected to at least one of the rear connecting features.

First claim

What is claimed:

1. A wall mounted light fixture comprising:
a body at least partially defining a housing, the body having a first side facing an interior of the housing and a second side facing the exterior of the housing, the first side of the body having a plurality of front connecting features and the second side of the body having a plurality of rear connecting features;
a light emitter positioned in the interior of the housing and supported by the first side of the body;
a lens connected to at least one of the front connecting features; and
a mounting component connected to at least one of the rear connecting features.

2. The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein the mounting component includes a surface mount.

3. The light fixture of claim 2 , wherein the surface mount includes a top flange and a bottom flange, and wherein the rear connecting features include an upper channel for receiving the top flange and a lower channel for receiving the bottom flange.

4. The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein the mounting component includes a recessed mount.

5. The light fixture of claim 4 , wherein the recessed mount includes a top flange and a bottom flange, and wherein the rear connecting features include an upper channel for receiving the top flange and a lower channel for receiving the bottom flange.

6. The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein the lens includes an upper lens hook and a lower lens hook, and wherein the front connecting features include an upper channel for receiving the upper lens hook and a lower channel for receiving the lower lens hook.

7. The light fixture of claim 1 , further comprising a driver compartment connected to at least one of the rear connecting features.

8. The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein the lens includes a removable panel and the light emitter is supported by a mounting bracket connected to the body.

9. A wall mounted light fixture comprising:
a body at least partially defining a housing, the body having a first side facing an interior of the housing and a second side facing the exterior of the housing, the first side of the body having a plurality of front connecting features and the second side of the body having a plurality of rear connecting features;
a mounting bracket connected to at least one of the front connecting features;
a light emitter connected to the mounting bracket;
an end cap connected to the body; and
a front lens connected to the end cap and positioned substantially opposite from the body.

10. The light fixture of claim 9 , wherein the light emitter is one of a first light emitter or a second light emitter, and wherein the mounting bracket includes a upper section extending between the body and the front lens for supporting the first light emitter substantially perpendicular to the front lens, and a lower section extending between the body and the front lens for supporting the second light emitter substantially perpendicular to the front lens.

11. The light fixture of claim 10 , wherein the upper section and the lower section each include a plurality of slots configured to receive light emitted from the first and second light emitters, respectively.

12. The light fixture of claim 11 , wherein at least a portion of the light received by the slots is reflected by the mounting bracket and emitted through the front lens.

13. The light fixture of claim 9 , further comprising a top lens connected to the front lens and the endcap and a bottom lens connected to the body, the front lens, and the endcap.

14. The light fixture of claim 13 , wherein the front lens includes a first protrusion engaging a portion of the end cap, a first channel defined by a set of second protrusions receiving the top lens, and a second channel defined by a set of third protrusions receiving a portion of the mounting bracket and a portion of the end cap.

15. The light fixture of claim 14 , wherein the lens includes a removable panel.

16. A wall mounted light fixture comprising:
a body at least partially defining a housing, the body having a first side facing an interior of the housing and a second side facing the exterior of the housing, the first side of the body having a plurality of front connecting features and the second side of the body having a plurality of rear connecting features;
a light emitter positioned in the interior of the housing and supported by the first side of the body;
an end cap connected to the body; and

a front lens connected to the end cap and positioned substantially opposite from the body, the front lens including an upper section, a lower section, and a panel removably positioned between the upper section and the lower section.

17. The light fixture of claim 16 , wherein the panel is received in a channel defined by a rear wall, an upper wall, a lower wall, an upper flange and a lower flange.

18. The light fixture of claim 16 , wherein the panel is received in a first channel defined by the upper section of the lens and a second channel defined by the lower section of the lens.

19. The light fixture of claim 16 , wherein the panel produces a different light output from the upper section and the lower section.

20. The light fixture of claim 16 , further comprising a mounting bracket supporting the light emitter, wherein the mounting bracket includes a slot for receiving light emitted from the light emitter and wherein at least a portion of the light received by the slot is reflected by the mounting bracket and emitted through the panel.
