Method, apparatus and system for connecting a light emitting diode light fixture to a mains power conductor

摘要

A method, apparatus and system for connecting a light fixture having a light emitting diode (LED) lighting element to a mains power conductor in an electrical junction box is disclosed. The apparatus includes a support configured to attach to the electrical junction box and an electrical converter operable to receive electrical power from the mains power conductor and to generate an output power suitable for powering the LED lighting element. The apparatus also includes an output connector disposed on the support and in electrical connection with the electrical converter for receiving the output power, the output connector being operable to receive a connector of the light fixture for powering the LED lighting element, the output connector being oriented to receive the connector of the light fixture when the support is attached to the electrical junction box.

主权项

1. An adaptor apparatus for connecting a light fixture having a light emitting diode (LED) lighting element to an electrical junction box having an opening exposing a volume for housing electrical connections to a mains power conductor, the apparatus comprising:
a plate configured to removably attach to the electrical junction box to cover the opening of the electrical junction box; an electrical converter mounted on said plate and being operable to receive electrical power when connected to the mains power conductor and to generate an output power suitable for powering the LED lighting element; and an output connector disposed on said plate and in electrical connection with said electrical converter for receiving said output power, said output connector being operable to receive a connector of the light fixture for powering the LED lighting element, said plate, when attached to the electrical junction box, being operable to: permit access to the output connector from outside the electrical junction box; and prevent access to the volume housing electrical connections within the electrical junction box.
