Abstract
A lighting assembly is disclosed that is sold in a kit/package with a single, dual conductor wire that forms an electrical “loop”. Both free ends of a first conductor of the wire are connected to the same conductor socket and both free ends of a second conductor are connected to the other conductor socket. During installation, a contractor can simply cut with wire loop to provide a pre-wired light assembly that is ready to be daisy-chained to other light assemblies or electrical equipment.
Claims17
A light assembly kit comprising:
- a light casing;
- a light bulb located within said casing housing;
- a light socket assembly connected to said light bulb and located in said light casing housing;
- and,
- a dual conductor electrical wire;
- said dual conductor electrical wire comprising a first end having a first electrical conductor end and a second electrical conductor end, and a second end having a third electrical conductor end and a fourth electrical conductor end;
- wherein said first electrical conductor end and said third electrical end are connected to a first electrical connector of said light socket assembly;
- and wherein said second electrical conductor end and said fourth electrical conductor end are connected to a second electrical connector of said light socket assembly;
- thereby forming a loop with said dual conductor electrical wire located at least partially out of said light casing.
6 more elements
A light assembly kit comprising:
- a light casing;
- a light socket assembly having a light bulb socket connectable to a light bulb, said light socket assembly being located in said light casing;
- and,
- a dual conductor electrical wire having a continuous portion forming a loop with two conductive paths terminating with a first end and a second end, both of the first end and the second end are electrically connected to said light socket assembly so as to form said loop, at least part of which is positioned outside of said light casing, wherein during installation the wire loop is cut to create the necessary lengths of wire for installation of the light assembly.

A method of installing a light assembly kit, comprising:
- obtaining a first light assembly kit comprising a light housing;
- a light socket assembly having a light bulb socket located in said light housing;
- and a first dual conductor electrical wire having a first end and a second end, both of which that are electrically connected to said light socket assembly so as to form a loop at least partially positioned outside of said light housing;
- cutting said loop of said first dual conductor electrical wire and connecting a newly-created third end to a second dual conductor electrical wire of a second light assembly kit.
