Selectively-extendable modular lighting fixture and method

摘要

A modular, linear-type lighting fixture may include an elongate housing having lengthwise ends, and a pair of endplates adapted for sealing attachment to either lengthwise end of the housing, each of the endplates having respective perimeter surfaces adapted for attachment to any one of a bridge adapted for angularly-directable extension of the housing, a bridge adapted for linear extension of the housing, and an endcap. A modular lighting fixture may include first and second elongate housings each having ends, pairs of endplates for being respectively mated with the first and second ends of the first and second elongate housings, the endplates each having a rim, and a bridge adapted for joining one of the endplates of the first elongate housing with one of the endplates of the second elongate housing by sealing cooperation with the respective rims thereof. A lighting fixture may have one or more isolated raceways therein.

主权项

1. A modular lighting system comprising:
a first elongate housing having opposite lengthwise ends and sidewalls; ana unitary endplate structured for fastening connection to one of the ends of the first elongate housing, the endplate having a lens-receiving face on a first side and an additional-structure-connecting face on a second side facing away from the first side, the second side having an outer perimeter portion and a peripheral surface offset inwardly with respect to the outer perimeter portion; and an additional structure having a peripheral edge with substantially the same contour as the peripheral surface on the second side of the endplate, the additional structure being connected to the endplate in that the peripheral edge of the additional structure is proximate to and outward of the peripheral surface on the second side of the endplate.
