Abstract
A junction unit adapted for use in a lighting balloon apparatus is provided. The junction unit comprises a body, a first attachment region disposed on the body to couple to one or more lighting modules, and a second attachment region disposed on the body to couple to a header cable that provides power to the one or more lighting modules.
Claims20
A junction unit adapted for use in a lighting balloon apparatus, the junction unit comprising:
- a body;
- a first attachment region disposed on the body, the first attachment region comprising:
- a plurality of arms that extend radially outward from the body and are each adapted to couple to and secure a lighting module away from the body;
- and
- a plurality of module power ports;
- a second attachment region disposed on the body, the second attachment region comprising a source power port adapted to couple to a header cable comprising a plurality of electrically isolated source channels;
- and
- a plurality of power channels disposed within the body that are adapted to transmit power from the source power port to each of the plurality of module power ports in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of electrically isolated source channels of the header cable when coupled thereto.
