Configurable ceiling grid lighting assembly with T-bar mounted linear support elements

A lighting assembly within a ceiling grid system, wherein the ceiling grid system comprises an array of T-Bar cells having ceiling grid T-Bars with vertical and horizontal portions, wherein a plane containing the horizontal portions of the ceiling grid T-Bars defines a ceiling grid plane, the lighting assembly comprising;

• a) at least one T-Bar cell within the T-Bar grid array that provides integral structural integrity to the lighting assembly;
• b) at least one assembly ceiling panel that is positioned at least partially above or below the ceiling plane;
• c) at least one optical assembly comprising at least one LED light source, at least one printed circuit board, and at least one optical element;
• d) at least one linear support element configured to be arranged onto a mounting T-bar within the at least one T-Bar cell, wherein the at least one linear support element comprises an elongate body configured to support and align components of the at least one optical assembly;
• and
• e) at least one covering element positioned proximate to a longitudinal end of the linear lighting module such as to provide an enclosing face of a central optical cavity within the lighting assembly;
• and
• wherein the at least one assembly ceiling panel is positioned and supported at a parallel or inclined orientation to the ceiling grid plane at a configured elevation relative to the ceiling grid plane.
