Abstract
A fluorescent lighting fixture is provided with an assembly housing on the top thereof formed of sidewalls and a removable cover and endcaps. When the cover and endcaps are removed, sequential end-on-end placement of a plurality of the fluorescent lighting fixtures causes a channel to be formed into which a continuous common electrical power line is placed. Each ballast assembly communicates with the electrical power line.
