Claims14
A track lighting adapter to couple a luminaire to a lighting track, comprising:
- a luminaire adapter to couple to the luminaire, the luminaire being defined by a main body portion, wherein the main body portion includes an upper end that includes a peripheral wall that at least partially surrounds and defines a cavity in an upper end face of the luminaire adapter, the cavity having a floor, the floor of the cavity including a first plurality of conductors extending therethrough, each of said conductors terminating in an upwardly facing conductive pad;
- and
- a track adapter to couple to the lighting track, wherein:
- the track adapter is selectively removable from the luminaire adapter,
- the track adapter includes a lower plate that is configured to be received at least partially within the cavity of the luminaire adapter by sliding the lower plate into the cavity along a direction perpendicular to the floor of the cavity;
- the lower plate includes a second plurality of conductors that are configured to make electrical contact with the first plurality of conductors when the lower plate is received within the cavity, and
- after the luminaire adapter and track adapter are coupled together, the luminaire adapter is not vertically displaceable relative to the track adapter.
