LOW-PROFILE PATHWAY ILLUMINATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A luminaire to illuminate surfaces, the luminaire comprising:
- a housing including a base having a bottom surface that is positionable on a surface to be illuminated, the housing including an interior and at least one window providing access between the interior of the housing and an exterior of the housing;
a mounting fixture extending at least approximately perpendicularly downward with respect to the bottom surface of the base to secure the housing to a peripheral portion of the surface to be illuminated; and
a light source received in the interior of the housing, the light source having a principal axis of emission that is directed outwardly through the window of the housing at a downwardly oriented angle with respect to the bottom surface of the base such that, when in use with the luminaire mounted to the surface to be illuminated, the principal axis of emission of the light source is directed at a portion of the surface to be illuminated.

Abstract
A luminaire to illuminate surfaces comprises a housing, a mounting fixture and a light source. The housing includes a base having a bottom surface positionable on a surface to be illuminated, an interior, and at least one window providing access between the interior and an exterior of the housing. The mounting fixture extends at least approximately perpendicularly downward with respect to the bottom surface of the base to secure the housing into a peripheral portion of the surface to be illuminated. The light source has a principal axis of emission that is directed outwardly through the window of the housing at a downwardly oriented angle with respect to the bottom surface of the base such that, when in use with the luminaire mounted to the surface to be illuminated, the principal axis of emission of the light source is directed at a portion of the surface to be illuminated.

18. A pathway light, comprising:
-
a solid-state device configured to emit light when powered; a control circuit coupled to the solid-state device and a power input, the control circuit configured to receive power from the power input and provide regulated power to the solid-state device; and a housing for enclosing the solid-state device and the control circuit, the housing constructed to withstand contact by moving equipment and function as a heat sink for the solid-state device and the control circuit, the housing having an opening shaped and angled to project light emitted by the solid-state device onto and across a surface to be illuminated when the pathway light is placed on the surface in a position for operation. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
