Architectural linear luminaire

A luminaire comprising:

• a housing comprising a top, a bottom, and an extrusion profile, wherein the extrusion profile comprises a height and a width, wherein the housing comprises a first end and a second end distanced from the first end by a length, wherein the housing comprises a plurality of length running elements, the plurality of length running elements comprising a cross member, and two sides, the cross member connecting the two sides to create a wireway above the cross member and a lower cavity below the cross member;
• a first endcap attached to the first end;
• a second endcap attached to the second end;
• a lens positioned at the bottom and enclosing the lower cavity;
• an LED array comprising a circuit board and a plurality of LEDs wherein the LED array is positioned under the cross member and light from the plurality of LEDs passes through the lens;
• a first IMS chassis connector though which DC power passes via two conductors and through which control signals pass via two different conductors;
• a second IMS chassis connector electrically connected to the first IMS chassis connector;
• a voltage booster receiving the DC power and producing boosted DC power;
• and
• an LED driver powering the LED array, the LED driver receiving the control signals from the first IMS chassis connector or the second IMS chassis connector.

A method comprising:

• obtaining a housing comprising a top, a bottom, and an extrusion profile, wherein the extrusion profile comprises a height and a width, wherein the housing comprises a first end and a second end distanced from the first end by a length, wherein the housing comprises a plurality of length running elements, the plurality of length running elements comprising a cross member, and two sides, the cross member connecting the two sides to create a wireway above the cross member and a lower cavity below the cross member;
• attaching a first endcap to the first end;
• attaching a second endcap to the second end;
• positioning a lens at the bottom to enclose the lower cavity;
• positioning an LED array under the cross member, the LED array comprising a circuit board and a plurality of LEDs wherein the LED array is configured for light from the plurality of LEDs to pass through the lens;
• installing an IMS chassis connector configured to receive DC power and control signals from an IMS cable, the IMS cable providing the DC power via two conductors and providing the control signals via two different conductors;
• and
• installing an LED driver powering the LED array, the LED driver configured to receive the DC power and the control signals from the IMS chassis connector.
