Adjustable lighting system

A lighting system comprising:

• a first housing portion and a second housing portion configured to move relative to one another between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration;
• an expandable LED board comprising a rigid portion fixed in position relative to the second housing portion and an expandable portion disposed within the first housing portion, the expandable portion comprising a plurality of board segments arranged in longitudinal series within the first housing portion;
• a plurality of LED packages disposed on downward-facing surfaces of the plurality of board segments;
• a plurality of conductive ribbons electrically interconnecting adjacent board segments of the plurality of board segments;
• and
• a plurality of plate segments respectively secured to the plurality of board segments, the plurality of plate segments being configured to spread apart and collapse within the first housing portion as the first housing portion moves relative to the rigid portion.

A lighting system comprising:

• a first housing portion and a second housing portion configured for relative longitudinal displacement between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration;
• a first direct reflector positioned within the first housing portion and defining a first slot opening downwardly into an optical cavity;
• a second direct reflector positioned within the second housing portion and defining a second slot opening downwardly into the optical cavity;
• and
• an expandable LED board comprising a rigid portion and an expandable portion, the rigid portion being received within and secured to the second slot of the second direct reflector and extending from the second housing portion toward the first housing portion, the rigid portion being slidably received within the first slot of the first direct reflector during relative longitudinal displacement between the first and second housing portions, the expandable portion being received within the first slot of the first direct reflector and comprising plate segments that are longitudinally expandable and retractable within the first housing portion.
