Claims20
An elongated heatsink system comprising:
- a heatsink module having a first heatsink module section and a second heatsink module section that are aligned along a common longitudinal axis, the first heatsink module section and the second heatsink module section each have through-openings that extend internally along the common longitudinal axis;
- electrical conductors that are disposed in the through-openings and that convey power, or power and data;
- a device receptacle disposed between the first heatsink module section and the second heatsink module section and configured to convey power or power and data provided via the electrical conductors between the device receptacle at least one of
- a power consuming device coupled to the device receptacle,
- a device coupled to one of the first heatsink module section and the second heatsink module section and that is in proximity to the device receptacle, or
- an external device in proximity to the device receptacle and at least one of the first heatsink module section and the second heatsink module section;
- a lamp coupled to a surface of the heatsink module;
- and
- a light redirecting optical lens positioned over the lamp and redirects light emitted from the lamp toward a vertical illuminated surface and a horizontal illuminated surface, wherein
- the vertical illuminated surface comprises a first subfield of illumination that serves as an inclusionary range and a second subfield of illumination that is contiguous with the inclusionary range but excludes the inclusionary range, the second subfield of illumination is above or below the inclusionary range, and
- an average vertical light level on a surface of the inclusionary range is greater than an average light level on the second subfield of illumination.
