CONFIGURABLE PLANAR LIGHTING SYSTEM

摘要

A configurable planar lighting system includes a system track and at least one, and preferably more than one, very thin profile planar light module attachable at selectable positions along the system track. The thin profile planar light module holds a very thin area light source, which is electrified when the planar fixture module is attached to the system track. The configurable planar lighting system can be mounted and configured on a wall without surrounding structures or to the underside of a counter, cabinet, shelf or the like. The configurable planar lighting system can also act as a shelf for light objects such as decorative objects, and can be used for task lighting or display lighting or both in versatile configurations. In under-structure applications, the lighting system can be mounted to provide configurable lighting without the physical parts of the system being visible at normal viewing angles.

主权项

1. A configurable planar lighting system comprising:
an elongated system track having a length and adapted for mounting to a surface, and having electrical conductors in electrical communication with an external power source, at least one light module having a base edge and a thin extension plate extending in a plane from said base edge, said extension plate having a top side and a bottom side, and said base edge being adapted to connect to the system track at different selectable positions along the length thereof such that, when connected to said system track, the light module projects from said system track in a plane, and said light module further including a thin planar area light source mounted to at least one of the bottom or top sides of the extension plate of the light module so as to be in co-planar relation with said extension plate and so as to emit light from the plane of the light module.
