Method and apparatus for installing a motion sensor in a luminaire
First Claim
1. An apparatus for installing a lighting accessory to a first luminaire comprising a first luminaire housing, the apparatus comprising:
- a lighting accessory bracket comprising;
a coupling member operative to couple the bracket to the first luminaire housing;
a support member extending from the coupling member and operative to support the lighting accessory a first distance from the first luminaire housing; and
an attachment member extending from the support member operative to attach the lighting accessory to the bracket;
wherein the bracket is operative to couple the lighting accessory to the first luminaire housing without increasing a combined length of the first luminaire and a second luminaire positioned adjacent one another in an end-to-end configuration.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for motion sensor installation includes an apparatus for installing a lighting accessory to a first luminaire having a luminaire housing. The bracket includes a coupling member operative to couple the bracket to one of the luminaire housings. A support member extends from the coupling member, and is operative to support the lighting accessory a first distance from the luminaire housing. An attachment member that is operative to attach the lighting accessory to the lighting accessory extends from the support member. The bracket couples the lighting accessory to the luminaire housing without extending the length of the luminaire or creating a substantial gap between two luminaires in a linear configuration. In one aspect, the lighting accessory can be a motion sensor that is operative to control the power to one or more of the luminaires.

9. A lighting system comprising:
-
a plurality of fluorescent luminaires, each luminaire comprising; a length greater than its width; a first luminaire housing and a second luminaire housing operative to support first and second fluorescent lamps, wherein an endpoint of the first luminaire housing is positioned adjacent an endpoint of a second luminaire housing, providing a linear configuration for the plurality of luminaires; a bracket coupled to the first luminaire housing and operative to position a lighting control device along the endpoints of the first and second luminaires, wherein the lighting control device is electrically coupled to at least one of the first and second luminaire and operative to control at least one aspect of at least one of the plurality of fluorescent luminaries, wherein a combined length of the first and second luminaire comprising the bracket and the lighting control device is substantially equal to the combined length of the first and second luminaire alone. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method of coupling a lighting control device to one of a plurality of fluorescent luminaires positioned linearly with respect to one another comprising:
-
providing, for each luminaire, a luminaire housing comprising a first end and a second end along a length of the housing for each luminaire; positioning a first luminaire housing adjacent a second luminaire housing in an end-to-end orientation; providing an attachment member operative to couple the lighting control device adjacent one end of the luminaire housing without extending a combined length of the first and second luminaire; coupling the attachment member to the first luminaire housing; and coupling the lighting control device to the attachment member. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
