(canceled)
A low voltage power system for a merchandise display comprising:
- a rail member including:
- a shelf-engaging member extending between a first end of the rail member and a second end of the rail member opposite the first end, wherein the shelf-engaging member attaches to a first shelf of the merchandise display, wherein the shelf-engaging member comprises a front end adjacent a front side of the first shelf of the merchandise display;
- a power connector portion attached to the front end of the shelf-engaging member, wherein the power connector portion includes a recess that comprises a first upper channel and a second upper channel;
- a first conductive member secured in the first upper channel and a second conductive member secured in the second upper channel, wherein the first and second conductive members transmit electrical power to at least one low voltage device;
- a label display holder, the label display holder extending below the shelf-engaging member;
- and
- a receiving member that extends rearward from a lower edge of the label display holder, wherein the receiving member is receives an LED lighting assembly to illuminate a second shelf below the first shelf.
