LIGHTING FIXTURE ASSEMBLY

摘要

A lighting fixture assembly (10) includes a unitary housing (20) having a reflector, a neck (28) and a wire receiving portion. Electrical circuits include electrically conductive strips housed in a circuit support (31) including mating halves (80). A mid-portion is removed from one strip to form a modular electric circuit that is coupled to a thermal cut-off device also housed in the circuit support (31) which is disposed within the housing neck (28). The wire receiving portion includes semi-cylindrical walls with opposed gaps that define a path for receiving a power supply line. Piercing pins (54) protrude above the circuit support (31). An adapter includes a curved recess for receiving a power supply line and directing the line to make contact with the piercing pins (54). A removable cap is mated to the wire receiving portion to apply force onto the adapter, thereby causing the power supply line to be pierced by the pins (54).
