Patent ID: 8529085

Claim:
An exterior lighting fixture for illuminating a plane, the lighting fixture comprising: a housing having a longitudinal axis, the housing comprising: a center section arranged about a longitudinal center line of the housing and running substantially along an entire length of the longitudinal axis of the housing, the center section defining a compartment enclosing at least one light emitting diode (LED) power supply; a first LED section arranged on a first side of the center section and running substantially along the entire length of the longitudinal axis of the housing, the first LED section defining a first sealable LED compartment and a first mounting surface directed towards the longitudinal center line of the housing and the illumination plane; a second LED section arranged on a second side of the center section opposite the first side and running substantially along the entire length of the longitudinal axis of the housing, the second LED section defining a second sealable LED compartment and a second mounting surface directed towards the longitudinal center line of the housing and the illumination plane; a first passageway connecting the sealable center compartment with the first sealable LED compartment; and a second passageway connecting the sealable center compartment with the second sealable LED compartment; a first LED engine mounted on the first mounting surface of the first LED section, the first LED engine electrically connected to the LED power supply with an electrical cable passing through the first passageway, the first LED engine comprising a plurality of LEDs fixed to a printed circuit board for illuminating a side of the illumination plane; and a second LED engine mounted on the second mounting surface of the second LED, the second LED engine electrically connected to the LED power supply with an electrical cable passing through the second passageway, the second LED engine comprising a plurality of LEDs fixed to a printed circuit board for illuminating a second side of the illumination plane.
