A linear LED lamp comprising:
- an elongate body extending between spaced first and second ends and comprising an elongate heat sink formed of a heat dissipating material;
- at least one LED emitter panel secured to the heat sink, each LED emitter panel comprising a circuit board containing LED emitters connected in a circuit for emitting and distributing light outwardly from the emitter panel in a light distribution pattern;
- at least one electronic component mounted within the elongate body of the linear LED lamp, the at least one electronic component comprising a controller component comprising electronic control circuitry and/or a data communications component comprising electronic data communications circuitry;
- a first end cap assembly at the first end of the body comprising a housing having a sidewall extending in a direction generally parallel to the length of the body and having first and second conductive power pins and a conductive grounding pin disposed within the housing, at least one of the conductive power pins adapted to provide power to the lamp and the conductive grounding pin electrically isolated from the conductive power pins and being connectable to a ground circuit, the pins each having an elongated engagement portion extending in a direction transverse to the length of the body and towards an opening defined in the sidewall without extending through the opening;
- the opening sized to receive a leading end portion of a first support connector mounted on a support of a light fixture, the leading end portion having first and second power electrical terminals and a grounding electrical terminal disposed within corresponding first, second and third elongated receptacles in communication with first, second and third openings in a leading end face thereof;
- the first and second conductive power pins configured to engage a respective one of the first and second power electrical terminals via the respective first and second openings, and the conductive grounding pin configured to engage the grounding electrical terminal via the third opening, as the first end cap assembly is moved relative to the first support connector from a position fully separated from the first support connector in a path that is transverse to the length of the body into an engaged position;
- wherein the first end cap assembly is configured to be coupled to the first support connector as an incident of the first end cap assembly moving into the engaged position.
