LED light fixtures with arrangement for electrical connection
First Claim
1. In an LED apparatus of the type comprising at least one optical member disposed over at least one LED emitter thereon, the optical member including (a) at least one optical portion corresponding to and over the at least one LED emitter and (b) a flange portion about the at least one optical portion, the improvement comprising:
- at least one on-board connector configured for connection with electrical wiring for powering the LED emitter(s);
the optical-member flange portion defining an aperture therethrough positioned over the at least one on-board connector; and
a wireway structure comprising a one-piece flexible duct with an end portion in engagement with the flange aperture, the duct forming a channel for passing wires to the on-board connector.

Abstract
An LED light fixture includes a heat sink structure, at least one LED board in thermal engagement with the heat sink structure, the at least one LED board having at least one LED emitter thereon, and an on-board connector on the LED board for connecting electrical wiring to the LED emitter(s). At least one enclosing member forms with the heat sink an interior space enclosing a corresponding LED board, the rigid enclosing member defining a wiring aperture therethrough in alignment with the on-board connector. The LED light fixture also has an exterior wireway structure including a one-piece duct which has an end portion engaged with the wiring aperture and forms a channel for wires to the on-board connector. The wireway structure further includes a single-piece rigid cover secured with respect to the enclosing member and enclosing the duct.

31. An LED light fixture comprising:
-
a mounting structure; at least one LED emitter secured with respect to the mounting structure and defining a light-emission side of the mounting structure; conductive paths from the at least one LED emitter to a quick-connect connector which is secured with respect to the mounting structure on the light emission side for connecting electrical wiring to the LED emitter(s); at least one enclosing member, having interior and exterior sides, the interior side forming with the mounting structure an interior space enclosing the at least one LED emitter, the quick-connect connector being accessible through the enclosing member; and an exterior wireway structure forming a channel for wires to the quick-connect connector, the channel being spaced from the mounting structure on the light-emission side thereof and at least partially extending along the exterior side of the enclosing member. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)
