An electrical power extension module comprising: a housing; a first retaining means for mechanical engagement with a first another electrical power extension module, the first retaining means being at a first end of the housing; a first electrical connector at the first end of the housing, the first electrical connector being configured for electrically connecting with a connector of the first another electrical module; a second retaining means for mechanical engagement with a second another electrical power extension module, the second retaining means being at a second end of the housing; a second electrical connector at the second end of the housing, the second electrical connector configured for electrically connecting with a connector of the second another module; and electrical conduction means located within the housing and connected between the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector and electrically connecting the first electrical connector with the second electrical connector.
An electrical power extension module comprising:
An electrical power extension module comprising:
The electrical power extension module of any preceding claim, wherein the first retaining means comprises a protruding portion and the second retaining means comprises a receiving portion operable to receive a protruding portion of the same configuration as the first retaining means, wherein the protruding portion of the first retaining means of one electrical power extension module combines with the receiving portion of the second retaining means of another electrical power extension module to guide the modules and retain the modules in mechanical engagement.
The electrical power extension module of any preceding claim, wherein the first electrical connector comprises pins and the second electrical connector comprises corresponding recesses for receiving the pins.
The electrical power extension module of any preceding claim, wherein the electrical power extension module has a shallow profile such that the width of the module and the length of the module are large in comparison with the height of the module.
The electrical power extension module of any preceding claim, wherein the electrical conduction means comprises two or more electrical conductor pairs or trios and wherein one of the conductor pairs or trios provides power to lighting devices and another of the conductor pairs or trios provides power to devices other than lighting devices.
The electrical power extension module of any preceding claim, wherein the conductor pair or trio providing power to lighting devices has a current capacity which is lower than the current capacity of the conductor pair or trio providing power to devices other than lighting devices.
The electrical power extension module of any preceding claim, further comprising a lighting strip on an or the upper surface of the housing.
The electrical power extension module of claim ii, wherein the lighting strip is part of a lighting module that comprises:
