Abstract
A system and method for providing robust, configurable lighting includes electrical boxes interconnected by conduit through selected knockout openings. A cover plate includes multiple rectangular openings oriented if different fashions. The openings are configured to receive and secure a base of tubular lighting element to the cover plate. Wiring is passed through the conduit into the boxes, and a connection is made to the lighting element through a secured base and associated opening.
Claims9
A system comprising:
- a plurality of electrical boxes, each electrical box having an interior portion formed by a bottom wall and an opening disposed from the bottom wall by one or more side walls, each side wall having one or more knockouts;
- a conduit extending between a first electrical box and a second electrical box, the conduit affixed to a removed knockout of the first electrical box at a first end of the conduit and affixed to a removed knockout of the second electrical box;
- the conduit configured to contain first and second conductor wires extending between the first electrical box and the second electrical box via an interior of the conduit;
- the first electrical box configured to receive feeder wiring from an associated power source;
- first and second removable face plates configured to be affixed to cover each of at least the first and second electrical boxes respectively, each face plate including one or more
- openings configured to secure a mount associated with a distal end of a tubular light source and facilitate a power connection between one or more conductor wire and an associated distal end of the tubular light source;
- a third electrical box having an interior portion formed by a bottom wall and an opening disposed from the bottom wall by one or more side walls, each side wall having one or more knockouts;
- a second conduit extending between the second electrial box and the third electrical box, the conduit affixed to a removed knockout on the third electrical box and a second removed knockout on the second electrical box;
- and
- a removable faceplate configured to be affixed to cover the third electrical box, the faceplate including one or more openings configured to secure a mount on a second distal end of the second tubular light source;
- wherein a base of a first distal end of the tubular light source is secured to a first opening in the first electrical box and wherein a base of a second distal end of the tubular light source is affixed at a first opening of the second electrical box;
- wherein the second faceplates includes at least a second opening configured to secure a mount associated with a first distal end of a second tubular light source;
- and
- wherein the first and second conductor wires further extend between the second electrical box and the third electrical box via an interior of the second conduit.
