Abstract

This invention relates to light fittings and in particular light fittings which produce a uniform and soft light or a predetermined focused beam of light.

Claims

1. A standard electrical conduit box provided with a light fitting, the light fitting comprising a light transmitting cover, the light fitting being attachable to said box to provide, together with said box, a housing, and a light source for location within the housing.

2. An electrical conduit box according to claim 1, wherein the light transmitting cover is a centrally located domed element.

3. An electrical conduit box according to claim 1, wherein the light transmitting cover is a moulded ring provided with a lens.

4. An electrical conduit box according to claim 3, wherein the lens is provided in a cavity in the front of the moulded housing.

5. An electrical conduit box according to claim 3, wherein the lens is domed.

6. An electrical conduit box according to claim 3, wherein the lens comprises a thin sleet of material.

7. An electrical conduit box according to claim 3, wherein the glens is configured to provide an elliptical beam shape.

8. An electrical conduit box according to claim 3, wherein the housing is further provided with a mirrored reflector for focusing the light into a narrow beam for transmission through the lens.

9. An electrical conduit box according to claim 1, wherein the light fitting is injection moulded polycarbonate.

10. An electrical conduit box according to claim 1, wherein the light source is a LED.

11. An electrical conduit box according to claim 1 configured such that the light source is dimmable.

12. An electrical conduit box wherein the light fitting is configured to be mounted to the conduit box.

13. A method comprising the steps of:

providing a standard electrical conduit box;

providing a light fitting comprising a light transmitting cover, the light fitting being attachable to said box to provide, together with said box, a housing; and

providing a light source for location within the housing.

14. A method according to claim 13, wherein the light transmitting cover is a centrally located domed element.

15. A method according to claim 13, wherein the light transmitting cover is a moulded ring provided with a lens.

16. A method according to claim 15, wherein the lens is provided in a cavity in the front of the moulded housing.

17. A method according to claim 15, wherein the lens is domed.

18. A method according to claim 15, wherein the lens comprises a thin sheet of material.

19. A method according to claim 15, wherein the lens is configured to provide an elliptical beam shape.

20. A method according to claim 15, wherein the housing is further provided with a mirrored reflector for focusing the light into a narrow beam for transmission through the lens.

21. A method according to claim 13, wherein the light fitting is injection moulded polycarbonate.

22. A method according to claim 13, wherein the light source is a LED.

23. A method according to claim 13 configured such that the light source is dimmable.
