Abstract
A modular lighting fixture and a modular lighting system utilizing the modular lighting fixture, other lighting fixtures, and interchangeable components of lighting fixtures. The configuration of the modular lighting fixture can vary, and the modular lighting system can use one or more variations of the modular lighting fixture(s) and/or components thereof. When installed in an environment, the modular lighting fixture can be adjusted to satisfy aesthetic and functional preferences and requirements in the environment by employing interchangeable components. In some examples, multiple lighting fixtures of differing configurations can be used to create a lighting system that is functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Claims20
A modular lighting system, the system comprising:
- a lighting fixture, comprising:
- a stem fixture assembly adapted to connect to a junction box mounted to a ceiling;
- a rigid stem having a proximal end and a distal end, the rigid stem having a first length measured from the proximal end to the distal end;
- a curved arm housing one or more first lighting elements that face upwards, towards the stem fixture assembly, the curved arm having a first end and a second end and having a first arc length measured from the first end to the second end;
- and
- a transitional fitting operable to join the distal end of the rigid stem to the first end of the curved arm;
- a second rigid stem having a second length different from the first length;
- a second curved arm housing one or more second lighting elements and having a second arc length different from the first arc length;
- wherein the rigid stem is interchangeable with the second rigid stem, wherein interchanging the rigid stem with the second rigid stem changes a distance between the first end of the curved arm and the ceiling, and
- wherein the curved arm is interchangeable with the second curved arm such that the one or more second lighting elements face upwards, towards the stem fixture assembly, wherein interchanging the curved arm with the second curved arm changes a distance between the second end of the curved arm and the rigid stem.
A lighting fixture configured to be connected to a ceiling, the lighting fixture comprising:
- a rigid stem having a proximal end and a distal end, the rigid stem having a first length measured from the proximal end to the distal end;
- a curved arm housing one or more lighting elements that face upwards, towards the stem fixture assembly, the curved arm having a first end and a second end and having a first arc length measured from the first end to the second end;
- and
- a transitional fitting operable to join the distal end of the rigid stem to the first end of the curved arm;
- wherein the rigid stem is interchangeable with a second rigid stem with a second length different from the first length, wherein interchanging the rigid stem with the second rigid stem changes a distance between the first end of the curved arm and the ceiling, and
- wherein the curved arm is interchangeable with a second curved arm housing one or more second lighting elements such that the one or more second lighting elements face upwards, wherein interchanging the curved arm with the second curved arm changes a distance between the second end of the curved arm and the rigid stem.
A lighting fixture configured to be connected to a ceiling, the lighting fixture comprising:
- a rigid stem having a proximal end and a distal end, the rigid stem having a first length measured from the proximal end to the distal end;
- a curved arm housing one or more lighting elements that face upwards, towards the stem fixture assembly, the curved arm having a first end and a second end and having a first arc length measured from the first end to the second end;
- and
- a transitional fitting operable to join the distal end of the rigid stem to the first end of the curved arm;
- wherein the rigid stem is interchangeable with a second rigid stem with a second length different from the first length, wherein interchanging the rigid stem with the second rigid stem changes a distance between the first end of the curved arm and the ceiling, and
- wherein the curved arm is interchangeable with a second curved arm housing one or more second lighting elements such that the one or more second lighting elements face upwards, wherein interchanging the curved arm with the second curved arm changes a distance between the second end of the curved arm and the rigid stem, and
- wherein the transitional fitting comprises one or more insertion prongs configured to be removably disposed in one or more openings, respectively, formed in the curved arm.
