Abstract

A clip for mounting a linear LED lamp to an overhead dropped ceiling grid or to a planar support surface. The mounting clip has a pair of spaced resilient fingers extending downwardly and defining an interior region between the fingers sized to receive a portion of the linear LED lamp heat sink. Each finger has an internally facing engagement portion comprising protrusions configured to interlock with one or more external ridges of the heat sink of a linear LED lamp to securely retain the linear LED lamp between the fingers. In one form, the mounting clip has upper tab portions configured to engage and connect to a horizontally extending ledge of a channel member of the overhead dropped ceiling grid. In another form, the mounting clip is adapted to be secured to a planar support by means of a mechanical fastener or magnetically. The disclosed mounting clip can also be configured to secure a network cable to the lower surface of a ceiling or other support surface so that the cable can be routed from a network switch or other control equipment to the individual linear LED lamps or from one lamp to another in an automated POE lighting system.

Abstract

The invention relates to LED lighting and provides an improved connector for securing LED tube lamps to an overhead lighting fixture. Conventional connector systems create safety issues because they lack ground protection for the lamp. According to the invention, first and second connectors parts at opposite ends of the lamp engage corresponding connector parts mounted to the light fixture so that first and second surfaces of corresponding connector parts form a secure mechanical engagement as the lamp is moved in a path that is transverse to its length into an engaged position. The first connector part has power and ground pins and the corresponding connector part has power and ground terminals for connecting with a power supply and providing a grounding path for the lamp. The power and ground pins engage the power and ground terminals as the connector parts are placed into the engaged position.

Abstract

An elongate tubular lighting assembly having a body with a length between spaced first and second ends. The tubular lighting assembly has an elongate heat sink and a light source comprising LED emitters and first and second connectors respectively at the first and second body ends for securing the lighting assembly to a light fixture. The first connector has cooperating first and second parts having first and second surfaces. The first and second connector parts are configured so that the first and second surfaces are placed in confronting relationship to prevent separation of the first and second connector parts with the body in an operative state as an incident of the first connector part moving relative to the second connector part from a position fully separated from the second connector part in a substantially straight path that is transverse to the length of the body into an engaged position. The first connector part has conductive power and ground pins and the second connector part has conductive power and ground terminals for connecting with an external power supply and providing a grounding path for components of the lamp. The power and ground pins of the first connector part are configured to engage the power and ground terminals of the second connector part as an incident of the first connector part moving relative to the second connector part into the engaged position. A sleeve connector is also provided for mounting a non-power end of a linear LED lamp to a light fixture.

Abstract

An improved LED lighting system is provided for overhead ceiling lighting, as well as for other uses. The LED lighting system comprises elongated linear lamps having an LED luminary as a source of illumination and configured to operate as a node of an automated networked lighting system. The linear LED lamps have associated modular network connectors and control components so that they can receive control data and power signals over a single network cable according to a standardized power and data network communications architecture such as Ethernet. The system includes connector assemblies designed to securely mount the networkable linear LED lamps to conventional tube lamp lighting fixtures or to another support housing and to provide integrated power and data connectivity to internal components of the lamps. In one form, the disclosed system includes a network enabled snap-fit connector assembly mounted to a lighting fixture and configured to provide Ethernet power and data connectivity to the lamp. The LED lamps have first and second mechanical connectors at opposite ends of the lamp body, and the snap-fit connectors are configured to secure the lamps to an overhead lighting fixture or other support structure as an incident of the lamp ends moving relative to the mounting connectors in a substantially straight path that is transverse to the length of the body into an engaged position. The snap-fit connectors are also configured to form a network connection with an internal modular network connector associated with the lamp with the lamp mounted in its operative state on a support. In another form, a clipping mechanism is provided for mounting linear networkable LED lamps to an overhead grid ceiling system.

Abstract

An elongate tubular lighting assembly having a body with a length between spaced first and second ends. The tubular lighting assembly has a source of illumination and first and second connectors respectively at the first and second body ends. The first connector has cooperating first and second parts having first and second surfaces. The first and second connector parts are configured so that the first and second surfaces are placed in confronting relationship to prevent separation of the first and second connector parts with the body in an operative state as an incident of the first connector part moving relative to the second connector part from a position fully separated from the second connector part in a substantially straight path that is transverse to the length of the body into an engaged position.
