Abstract
A multifunctional lighting assembly is configured with optical components such as lenses and reflectors mounted within an elongate body that serves as a cross tee within a T-bar grid arrangement. Protrusions of the elongate body are used to position optical components and embodiments provide for the slidable mounting of optical components. Further embodiments provide for the support of ceiling panels within a suspended ceiling system, connection to a structural ceiling, and inclusion of further components such as sensors, electronic controllers, and wireless modules.
Claims24
A multifunctional lighting assembly configured as a cross-tee for use in a T-bar grid arrangement, the multifunctional lighting assembly comprising:
- a) an elongate body comprising an elongate planar base portion having first and second lateral ends, first and second longitudinal ends, a top plane, and a channel located in an interior space of the elongate planar base portion bounded by first and second protrusions of the elongate body;
- b) an elongate light assembly positioned within the interior space of the elongate body comprising:
- i. a printed circuit board with one or more light emitting diodes arranged on the printed circuit board;
- ii. at least one optical component mounted between the first and second protrusions of the elongate body;
- and
- c) first and second connecting members each positioned at the first and second longitudinal ends of the elongate body having support portions configured to be attached to the T-bar grid arrangement.
