Abstract
A modular grow lighting assembly provides a structure for integrating grow light strips into channels defined in vertical and horizontal structural supports. Levels of support structure can be added above previously installed levels as needed. A cable management system is also provided.
Claims17
A modular lighting system for providing grow lighting to plants, the system comprising:
- a plurality of levels of structure, each level supported by the level below, each level having a plurality of longitudinally extending vertical members and a plurality of longitudinally extending horizontal members connected to one another at connectors to generally form a vertical column for supporting one or more plants, each plant growing upwards through multiple of the plurality of levels of support structure,
- a plurality of the members each defining a longitudinally extending exterior-facing channel for positioning linear lighting, the exterior-facing channel orienting the linear lighting for emitting light onto the one or more plants,
- at least one of the plurality of the vertical members defining a longitudinally extending channel for positioning one or more electrical cables;
- and
- a plurality of linear lighting sources for growing plants, each linear lighting source positioned in a longitudinally extending channel of the a horizontal member, wherein at least one of the linear lighting sources is provided with power from a cable extending through one of the connectors.
2 more elements
A plant grow lighting system comprising:
- a plurality of support members including generally vertical members and generally horizontal members connected together at a plurality of connectors and defining a generally vertical column having multiple, vertically spaced apart, horizontal members;
- multiple plants positioned within the column, each plant extending vertically through the column, extending past and adjacent to at least two vertically spaced apart horizontal members;
- each of the multiple, vertically spaced apart horizontal members comprising a tubular having a channel in which is positioned a linear lighting source;
- the linear lighting sources oriented for providing light to plants positioned interior to the column;
- and
- power cabling for the linear lighting sources running along at least one of the vertical members, wherein at least one of the horizontal linear lighting members is provided with power from a cable extending through one of the connectors.

A modular system for supporting and providing grow lighting to plants, the system comprising:
- a plurality of horizontally extending members, the horizontally extending members forming multiple, vertically spaced apart levels, the horizontally extending members supported by connectors positioned on vertically extending members, each horizontally extending support member:
- being generally tubular,
- defining a longitudinal lighting channel extending the length of the horizontally extending member, the longitudinal lighting channel engaging and supporting a linear lighting source;
- and
- the linear lighting source positioned in the longitudinal lighting channel and oriented to provide light to at least one plant;
- and
- wherein at least one of the horizontal linear lighting members is provided with power from a cable extending through one of the connectors.
4 more elements
A system for supporting and providing grow lighting to plants, the system comprising:
- multiple vertical support members extending vertically adjacent one or more plants, the vertical support members having connectors for supporting horizontal linear lighting members;
- multiple removably attachable horizontal linear lighting members, each linear lighting member extending between and removably attached to connectors of two of the vertical supports;
- the multiple horizontal linear lighting members arranged in multiple levels, each level spaced vertically apart from an adjacent level;
- wherein at least one of the horizontal linear lighting members is provided with power from a cable extending through one of the connectors;
- and
- a plurality of plants positioned adjacent the vertical support members and extending vertically past multiple levels of the horizontal linear lighting members.
