Abstract
The luminaires of the present disclosure provide a slim profile and simple construction for use in a variety of lighting applications. A circuit board can have a plurality of light sources thereon, and a lens can at least partially encapsulate the circuit board to protect and electrically insulate the circuit board. When used, for example, in a lighted shelf application, power can be provided to the luminaire through shelf brackets along the side of the shelf panel.
Claims16
A shelf assembly, comprising:
- a shelf panel having a top surface and a bottom surface;
- and
- a luminaire connected to the bottom surface of the shelf panel, the luminaire comprising:
- one or more light sources;
- and
- a lens at least partially encapsulating the one or more light sources, so that the lens contacts the bottom surface of the shelf panel,
- wherein the lens diffuses light emanating from the one or more light sources, and
- wherein the shelf assembly further comprises a frame that at least partially encapsulates the one or more light sources.
5 more elements
A shelf assembly comprising:
- a shelf panel comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, a front edge, and two side edges;
- a luminaire connected to the bottom surface of the shelf panel adjacent to the front edge, the luminaire comprising:
- one or more light sources;
- a lens at least partially encapsulating the one or more light sources, so that the lens contacts the bottom surface of the shelf panel, wherein the lens diffuses light emanating from the one or more light sources,
- the assembly further comprising a frame connected to the front edge of the shelf panel, wherein the frame at least partially covers the lens.
