MOUNTING ASSEMBLY FOR A LIGHT CONDUIT LIGHTING SYSTEM

摘要

A mounting assembly (8) for mounting a light pipe lighting system (2) on a support surface includes an elongate support rail (20) connected with the light source (104) and a hanger bracket (22, 24) connected with the elongate support rail (20). The support rail (20) includes oppositely extending longitudinal flange portions which slidably engage the hanger bracket (22, 24) and thereby serve to connect the support rail (20) with the hanger bracket (22, 24). The hanger bracket (22, 24) can be either slidably supported on the support rail (20) to allow the light source (104) to move relative to the support surface or the hanger bracket (22, 24) can be fixed at various locations along the support rail (20). The elongate light source support rail (20) is connected with the light source (104) with a bracket (22, 24) or with a casing (10) which encloses the light source (104), and the light source support rail (20) can be further connected with an associated light pipe support rail (20) to transmit axial forces between the light pipe (16) and light source (104).
