Patent ID: 8075149

Claim:
A system for emitting light, comprising: a faceplate comprising an outward facing side and an opposing inward facing side and configured to be coupled to a single gang junction box; a light emitting diode (LED) disposed along the inward facing side of the faceplate; a hood disposed on and extending outward from the outward facing side of the faceplate; a depression formed in the outward facing side of the faceplate and extending inward with respect to the faceplate, wherein the depression is disposed substantially below and adjacent the hood and wherein the hood and the depression are configured to reflect light emitted by the LED; wherein the hood and the depression define an opening through which light is emitted by the LED into a room environment; a driver circuit electrically coupled to the LED, wherein the driver circuit is configured to receive alternating current and convert it to direct current, and wherein the direct current is operative to provide power to the LED, wherein the driver circuit is configured to fit within a single-gang junction box.
