Abstract

A lighting system having a general light source and directional light sources disposed on a light bar pendant, mounted, or extending from the general light source. The general light source is flush mounted to the ceiling and includes an array of LEDs, powered by an LED driver, all enclosed in a canopy having a light-transmitting lens, and one or more directional light sources containing LEDs are adjustably, and movably mounted to the light bar. Electrical conductor paths on or within the light bar connect the directional light sources to the main power supply or LED driver.
