First Claim
Patent Images
1. A lighting fixture, comprising:
- a body comprising first and second linear grooved receiving structures collectively configured to receive and hold a linear lighting element, wherein said receiving structures comprise portions that are on opposite sides of said linear lighting element and comprise at least one reflective surface;
a suspension mechanism configured to provide an electrical connection from a power source to said lighting element, such that said lighting element is connected to said power source at a location other than one of the distal ends of said lighting element; and
a power supply cover which is separate from said body.

Abstract
This disclosure relates to suspended linear lighting fixtures that are arranged to accept lighting elements. Lighting fixtures according to the present disclosure comprise at least one body and at least one suspension mechanism. These lighting fixtures can be arranged such that electrical and mechanical connections can be provided at various locations along their length, rather than only at the distal ends of the fixtures. The fixtures can also comprise various connectivity features that allow further arrangements, designs and spatial adjustments. Lighting systems utilizing these fixtures are also disclosed.
