Luminaire structure

A method for preparing a configured installation of a grid lighting network in a target space, comprising:

• a. providing a plurality of grid segments configured to be assembled into the grid lighting network for supporting each of a plurality of interchangeable lighting modules at a corresponding one of a plurality of mounting sectors defined thereon,
• b. allocating the plurality of grid segments to a first power delivery zone defined by:
• i. a designated number of mounting sectors along the first power delivery zone;
• and
• ii. a designated number of the interchangeable lighting modules, each for mounting at any one of the designated number of mounting sectors in the first power delivery zone;
• c. providing at least one first power supply segment to be coupled to a first designated line voltage outlet to deliver line voltage power to each of the designated number of mounting sectors in the first power delivery zone;
• and
• d. configuring the designated number of mounting sectors along the first power delivery zone according to a first combined lighting unit power rating for the first power delivery zone to approach but not exceed a maximum power delivery rating of the first line voltage outlet;
• to enable any one of the designated number of interchangeable lighting modules to be moved from one mounting sector to another mounting sector in the designated number thereof, and still comply with the maximum power delivery rating of the first line voltage outlet;
• e. selecting the designated number of interchangeable lighting modules from one or more track lighting modules, or one or more non-track lighting modules;
• and
• f. configuring each track lighting module of the designated first number of lighting modules to receive one or more lighting submodules, wherein each lighting submodule includes one or more arrays of one or more LEDs, and a submodule driver, and wherein each track lighting module further comprises a second power supply segment configured to deliver low voltage power to the submodule driver.

A kit for assembling a grid lighting network, comprising:

• a plurality of lighting modules;
• a plurality of grid segments, each configured to be assembled to form the grid lighting network and to define a plurality of mounting sectors therein, with each mounting sector configured to operatively couple with a corresponding one of the plurality of lighting modules,
• at least one first power supply segment configured to be associated with the grid lighting network and to be coupled to a first line voltage outlet to deliver line voltage power to each of the mounting sectors in at least one first power delivery zone in the grid lighting network, wherein the at least one first power delivery zone is defined by:
• i) a designated first number of the plurality of mounting sectors;
• and
• ii) a designated first number of the plurality of lighting modules;
• wherein the at least one first power delivery zone is configured according to a first combined lighting unit power rating for the first power delivery zone to approach but not exceed a maximum power delivery rating of the first line voltage outlet, to enable any one of the designated first number of lighting modules to be moved from one of the mounting sectors in the designated first number thereof to another of the mounting sectors in the designated first number thereof, and still comply with the maximum power delivery rating of the first line voltage outlet;
• wherein the designated first number of lighting modules is selected from one or more track lighting modules and/or one or more non-track lighting modules;
• and
• wherein each track lighting module of the designated first number of lighting modules is configured to receive one or more lighting submodules, wherein each lighting submodule includes one or more arrays of one or more LEDs, and a submodule driver, and wherein each track lighting module further comprises a second power supply segment configured to deliver low voltage power to the submodule driver.
