Abstract
A lighting system may include a plurality of suspenders and a beam configured to provide light in at least one direction. The suspenders may structurally support the beam from a ceiling and may provide electrical power and dimming control signals to the beam. The beam may include a plurality of light engines for emitting light. The light engines may be single sided or dual sided, and may transmit electrical power among each other. The dual sided light engines may emit light upwardly and downwardly from the beam, and the single sided light engines may emit light downwardly.
Claims20
A lighting system, comprising:
- a beam configured to provide illumination;
- a first connector configured to be selectively coupled to a first end of the beam;
- a second connector configured to be selectively coupled to a second end of the beam, opposite to the first end;
- and
- a first suspender and a second suspender configured to suspend the beam from a supporting structure, each of the first suspender and the second suspender having a first end configured to be connected to the supporting structure and a second end configured to be connected to a respective one of the first connector and the second connector,
- wherein the beam includes a first light engine having a first light source disposed on a first side thereof and a first power jack disposed on a second side facing an opposite direction of the first side thereof, the first power jack being configured to output driving power to a first casing that is configured to be selectively coupleable to the first power jack, the first casing including a second light source therein, a first driving circuit electrically connected to the first light source and being configured to drive the first light source and a second driving circuit electrically connected to the power jack for driving the second light source.
