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.
Claims17
A light engine configured to emit light, comprising:
- a body comprising a plurality of sides including a first side having a first surface and a second side having a second surface, the second side being mirror opposite to the first side with first side extending along a first plane and the second side extending along a second plane that is spaced from the first plane;
- a first light source disposed on the first surface of the first side of the body and extending away from the first surface of the first side in a first direction;
- a first pair of wires each having a first end and a second end, the first light source being connected to the first pair of wires between the first end and the second end and configured to receive electrical power through the first pair of wires;
- a power jack disposed on the second surface;
- and
- a second pair of wires each having a first end and a second end, the power jack being connected to the second pair of wires between the first end and the second end of the second pair of wires and configured to receive electrical power through the second pair of wires.
A light engine configured to emit light, comprising:
- a body including a first side and a second side opposite to the first side;
- a first light source disposed on the first side of the body;
- a first pair of wires having a first end and a second end, wherein the first light source is connected to the first pair of wires between the first and second ends for receiving electrical power through the first pair of wires;
- a power jack disposed on the second side of the body;
- a second pair of wires having a first end and a second end, wherein the power jack is connected to the second pair of wires between the first and second ends of the second pair of wires for receiving electrical power through the second pair of wires;
- and
- a first connection ring disposed on the second side of the body that is configured to be selectively coupled to a first casing with the first casing including a second light source configured to generate light, wherein, when the first casing is coupled to the first connection ring, the first casing is also electrically connected to the power jack such that the second light source of the first casing can be electrically powered through the power jack.
