Trough luminaire with magnetic lighting devices and associated systems and methods
First Claim
1. A luminaire adapted to be carried by a light fixture comprising:
- a generally concave elongate-shaped housing comprising a ferromagnetic material and having an outer surface and an inner surface opposite the outer surface, the inner surface defining an optical chamber and a substantially polygonal aperture; and
a plurality of lighting devices each comprising;
a heat sink,a light source in thermal communication with the heat sink, anda magnetic attachment member,wherein the heat sink and the light source are coupled to the magnetic attachment member;
wherein the respective magnetic attachment member of each of the plurality of lighting devices is magnetically mountable to the ferromagnetic material such that the plurality of lighting devices are positionable adjacent to and spaced apart about the inner surface of the housing, and such that light emitted by the respective light source of each of the plurality of lighting devices enters the optical chamber and passes through the substantially polygonal aperture.

Abstract
A luminaire may be carried by a lighting fixture and may have a generally concave elongate-shaped housing defining an optical chamber and an aperture. The luminaire may include a plurality of lighting devices each having a heat sink, a light source, and a magnetic attachment member. The magnetic attachment member may magnetically bind a lighting device to pads proximate to ferromagnetic material in the housing. Light emitted by the light source may enter the optical chamber and pass through the aperture in a generally orthogonal direction in relation to the orientation of the device. Electrical power may be delivered by one or more power supply unit of either an external or an on-board type, and by using either inductive or conductive coupling. Network interfaces may enable communication of control instructions among a multiple controllers located either within a single luminaire or distributed among multiple luminaires.
