## Abstract

A light puck that attaches to a wire rope tension grid has a top cover with a plurality of slots to receive wire ropes therein and a corresponding bottom cover. There is also a light fixture having a plurality of LEDs disposed between the top cover and the bottom cover, the light fixture aligned with an opening in the bottom cover. A biasing plate is positioned between the light fixture and the top cover and has adjustment screw associated therewith to bias the biasing plate relative to the top cover.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A light puck comprising:
a top cover;
a bottom cover;
a light fixture disposed between the top cover and the bottom cover, the light fixture aligned with an opening in the bottom cover to shine light through the opening in the bottom cover; and
at least one opening in a side wall of the bottom cover to allow electrical wires attached to the light fixture to exit the light puck.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The light puck according to claim 1, wherein light fixture includes a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs).

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The light puck according to claim 1, further comprising a biasing plate with an adjustment screw to bias the biasing plate relative to the top cover and the light fixture.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The light puck according to claim 1, further including alignment pins extending between the top and bottom cover.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The light puck according to claim 1, wherein the top and bottom covers are removably attached to one another.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The light puck according to claim 1, wherein the top cover has a plurality of slots to receive wire ropes therein, the plurality of slots on an internal surface of the top cover and extend to at least one side surface of the top cover.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The light puck according to claim 1, the light fixture is electrically connected to at least one other light fixture in another light puck.

### Claim 8

A string of light pucks, the string of light pucks having at least two light pucks in electrical communication with one another, each of the light pucks in the string comprising:
a top cover;
a bottom cover;
a light fixture disposed between the top cover and the bottom cover, the light fixture aligned with an opening in the bottom cover to shine light through the opening; and
at least one opening in a side wall of the bottom cover to allow electrical wires attached to the light fixture to exit each of the light pucks in the string.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The string of light pucks according to claim 8, wherein the at least one opening comprises two openings.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The string of light pucks according to claim 9, wherein the electrical wires exit from a side surface of the light fixture.

### Claim 11

A light puck comprising:
a top cover;
a bottom cover;
a light fixture having a plurality of LEDs, the light fixture disposed between the top cover and the bottom cover, the light fixture aligned with and extending through an opening in the bottom cover; and
a biasing plate disposed between the light fixture and the top cover to bias the biasing plate when the bottom cover and the top cover are secured to one another.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The light puck according to claim 11, further including alignment pins extending between the top and bottom cover.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The light puck according to claim 11, wherein the top and bottom covers are removably attached to one another.

### Claim 14 (depends on 11)

The light puck according to claim 11, wherein the top cover has a plurality of slots to receive wire ropes therein, the plurality of slots on an internal surface of the top portion.

### Claim 15 (depends on 11)

The light puck according to claim 11, wherein the light fixture is electrically connected to at least one other light fixture in another light puck.

### Claim 16 (depends on 11)

The light puck according to claim 11, wherein the bottom cover has two slots in opposing side walls, each of the slots configured to receive electrical wires associated with the light fixture.

### Claim 17 (depends on 11)

The light puck according to claim 11, wherein the bottom cover has an interior and the interior is configured to receive the light fixture therein.

### Claim 18 (depends on 11)

The light puck according to claim 11, wherein the top cover and bottom cover have rounded corners.
