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.

Claims

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.
