LED LIGHTING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A lighting system comprisinga light engine head including a chamber, a lens assembly closing the chamber and an LED light engine in the chamber and directed toward the lens assembly, the chamber being sealed with the lens assembly closing the chamber;
- a control housing including a cavity thermally separate from the chamber, control gear electronics in the cavity and a power supply in the cavity;
a fixture support including a lid closing the cavity of the control housing, a beam rigidly extending from one edge of the lid and having a light engine head attachment location, the cavity being sealed with the lid closing the cavity, the light engine head being mounted to the light engine head attachment location with the control housing displaced from the light engine bead.

Abstract
A fountain lighting system including a light engine head containing an LED light engine and a control housing containing control gear electronics includes a fixture support providing thermal separation between the light engine head and the control housing. The fixture support includes a lid with a bar extending from the edge thereof. The lid closes the control housing while the bar mounts the light engine head. An anchoring mount is also on the bar. The lid includes receptacles for receiving power, control and light engine cables with wicking barriers separating the various components provided in the lid itself. Temperature sensors in the light engine head and in the control housing send data communication to the control gear electronics to limit power to avoid thermal loading. The control gear electronics modulates the power to prevent apparent cycling. A pool lighting system provides similar features in a niche. A gap open to the niche thermally separates the light engine head from the control housing.
