Abstract:
1. In an industrial light fixture of the type having: a housing with a base member and a top member together forming a space; power-related components in the space on the base member, including at least a capacitor; and a lamp-mounting socket, the improvement comprising: the base member having first and second ends and the top member having first and second endwalls aligned therewith, respectively; a capacitor bed on the base member adjacent to the second end; a capacitor on the capacitor bed, the capacitor having a capacitor outward surface adjacent to the second endwall and an opposite capacitor inward surface, the capacitor being of the type having a projecting bead thereabout; the second endwall having a groove on its inner surface positioned to receive the bead; at least one bracket-securement point on the base member spaced from the second end; and a spring-bracket (a) secured to the bracket-securement point(s), (b) extending along the capacitor inward surface and from there over the capacitor to hold the capacitor in place, and (c) biasing the capacitor outward surface into full heat-exchange engagement against the inner surface of the second endwall to facilitate heat transfer from the capacitor to the top member and dissipation therefrom to the atmosphere.
