Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A wall wash luminaire includes a trim assembly that has a trim and a light re-direction assembly. The light re-direction assembly includes a reflector kicker that is configured to re-direct light from the wall wash luminaire and an optical lens that is coupled to the reflector kicker such that the reflector kicker and the optical lens operate as a single unit. The light re-direction assembly is removably coupled to the trim such that the light re-direction assembly is slidingly rotatable with respect to the trim and 360 degrees about a central axis of the trim assembly.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A wall wash luminaire comprising: a trim assembly that comprises: a trim comprising a first body extending from a first top annular edge to a first bottom annular edge, the trim further comprising a first top flange extending radially outward from the first top annular edge, the first top flange comprising a coupling feature; a top reflector comprising a second body extending from a second top annular edge to a second bottom annular edge, the top reflector further comprising a complementary coupling feature configured to engage the coupling feature; and a light re-direction assembly that comprises: a reflector kicker; and a lens coupled to the reflector kicker, wherein the light re-direction assembly is coupled to the trim such that the light re-direction assembly is configured to rotate about a central axis of the trim assembly; wherein when the reflector kicker is coupled to the trim, a reflector kicker coupling feature is disposed between the first top flange of the trim and the top reflector; and wherein the complementary coupling feature of the top reflector comprises reflector tabs that extend out from an outer edge of a second bottom flange of the top reflector. 2. The wall wash luminaire of claim 1 , wherein: the first top annular edge defines a light receiving opening and the first bottom annular edge defines a light exit opening, the first body defining an inner cavity that extends from the light receiving opening through the light exit opening. 3. The wall wash luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the reflector kicker comprises: a third body that extends from a third top annular edge to a third bottom annular edge and defines an internal cavity that extends therethrough; a top collar that extends from the third top annular edge to a collar outer edge; and coupling tabs that extend out from the collar outer edge. 4. The wall wash luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the reflector kicker comprises: a third body that extends from a third top annular edge to a third bottom annular edge and defines an internal cavity that extends therethrough; and coupling tabs that are disposed adjacent the third top annular edge. 5. The wall wash luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the lens is fixedly coupled to the reflector kicker. 6. The wall wash luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the lens is removably coupled to the reflector kicker. 7. The wall wash luminaire of claim 4 , wherein a height of the third body measured from the third top annular edge to the third bottom annular edge tapers from a first side of the reflector kicker to a second side of the reflector kicker, the first side being opposite to the second side. 8. The wall wash luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the light re-direction assembly is rotatable with respect to the trim while the wall wash luminaire is installed in a mounting surface. 9. A wall wash luminaire comprising: a trim assembly that comprises: a trim comprising a first body extending from a first top annular edge to a first bottom annular edge, the first body defining an inner cavity; and a first top flange extending radially outward from the first top annular edge, the first top flange comprising a coupling feature; and a light re-direction assembly that comprises: a reflector kicker; and a lens that is coupled to the reflector kicker; wherein the light re-direction assembly is configured to be coupled to the trim such that the light re-direction assembly is rotatable with respect to the trim and about a central axis of the trim; and a top reflector that comprises a bottom flange, wherein the reflector kicker comprises coupling tabs disposed adjacent a top edge of the reflector kicker; and wherein the reflector kicker and the top reflector are configured to be coupled to the trim such that the coupling tabs of the reflector kicker are disposed between the bottom flange of the top reflector and the top flange of the trim. 10. The wall wash luminaire of claim 9 , wherein the top reflector comprises a complementary coupling feature that engages the coupling feature of the first top flange of the trim assembly. 11. The wall wash luminaire of claim 9 , further comprising: a top reflector that comprises: a second body that extends from a second top annular edge to a second bottom annular edge, the second bottom edge defining a bottom opening; a second bottom flange that extends radially outward from the second bottom annular edge; and a complementary coupling feature on the second bottom flange, the complementary coupling feature configured to engage the coupling feature of the first top flange of the trim assembly. 12. The wall wash luminaire of claim 11 , wherein the reflector kicker comprises: a third body that extends from a third top annular edge to a third bottom annular edge and defines a internal cavity that extends therethrough; a top collar that extends from the third top annular edge to a collar outer edge; and coupling tabs that extend out from the collar outer edge. 13. The wall wash luminaire of claim 9 , wherein the lens is fixedly coupled to the reflector kicker. 14. The wall wash luminaire of claim 9 , wherein the lens is removably coupled to the reflector kicker. 15. The wall wash luminaire of claim 12 , wherein a height of the third body measured from the third top annular edge to the third bottom annular edge tapers from a first side of the reflector kicker to a second side of the reflector kicker, the first side being opposite to the second side. 16. The wall wash luminaire of claim 9 , wherein the light re-direction assembly is slidingly rotatable with respect to the trim while the wall wash luminaire is installed in a mounting surface. 17. The wall wash luminaire of claim 12 , wherein the top collar of the reflector kicker further comprises relief cuts that are formed therein, and wherein the relief cuts are formed adjacent to opposite sides of the coupling tabs. 18. A wall wash luminaire comprising: a trim assembly that comprises: a trim comprising a first body extending from a first top annular edge to a first bottom annular edge, the trim further comprising a first top flange extending radially outward from the first top annular edge, the first top flange comprising a coupling feature; a top reflector comprising a second body extending from a second top annular edge to a second bottom annular edge, the top reflector further comprising a complementary coupling feature configured to engage the coupling feature; and a light re-direction assembly that comprises: a reflector kicker; and a lens coupled to the reflector kicker; wherein the light re-direction assembly is coupled to the trim such that the light re-direction assembly is configured to rotate about a central axis of the trim assembly; wherein the reflector kicker comprises: a third body that extends from a third top annular edge to a third bottom annular edge and defines an internal cavity that extends therethrough; a top collar that extends from the third top annular edge to a collar outer edge; and coupling tabs that extend out from the collar outer edge. 19. The wall wash luminaire of claim 18 , wherein when the reflector kicker is coupled to the trim, a reflector kicker coupling feature is disposed between the first top flange of the trim and the top reflector. 20. The wall wash luminaire of claim 18 , wherein: the first top annular edge defines a light receiving opening and the first bottom annular edge defines a light exit opening, the
