Low-profile lighting system having pivotable lighting enclosure
First Claim
1. A lighting system, comprising:
- a first enclosure being elongated along a first longitudinal axis and being configured for mounting an array of a plurality of lighting modules, the first enclosure including;
two opposing end panels being spaced apart along the first longitudinal axis;
a first spaced-apart pair of opposing elongated side panels;
a second spaced-apart pair of opposing elongated side panels; and
four elongated enclosure edges joining together the first and second pairs of the elongated side panels along the first longitudinal axis;
a second enclosure being elongated along a second longitudinal axis and containing a lighting module power supply, the lighting module power supply being configured for supplying power in the first enclosure to such plurality of lighting modules, the second enclosure including;
two additional opposing end panels being spaced apart along the second longitudinal axis;
a third spaced-apart pair of opposing elongated side panels;
a fourth spaced-apart pair of opposing elongated side panels; and
four additional elongated enclosure edges joining together the third and fourth pairs of the elongated side panels along the second longitudinal axis;
a pivotable joint assembly including a first pivot joint element being attached to a one of the first spaced-apart pair of elongated side panels of the first enclosure and including a second pivot joint element being attached to a one of the end panels of the second enclosure, the pivotable joint assembly having a pivotable joint axis, the pivotable joint axis being parallel with the first and second longitudinal axes, the pivotable joint assembly being interposed between a one of the elongated enclosure edges and a one of the additional elongated enclosure edges and being configured for constraining movement of the first longitudinal axis relative to the second longitudinal axis as being around and parallel with the pivotable joint axis.

Abstract
Lighting system including first and second enclosures, and pivotable joint assembly. First enclosure is elongated along first longitudinal axis and configured for mounting array of plurality of lighting modules; and includes: two opposing end panels spaced apart along first axis; first and second spaced-apart pairs of opposing elongated side panels; and four elongated enclosure edges joining together first and second pairs of side panels. Second enclosure is elongated along second longitudinal axis and configured for containing lighting module power supply; and includes: two opposing end panels spaced apart along second axis; third and fourth spaced-apart pairs of opposing elongated side panels; and four elongated enclosure edges joining together third and fourth pairs of side panels. Pivotable joint assembly has pivotable joint axis parallel with first and second axes; is interposed between edges; and configured for constraining movement of first and second axes as around and parallel with pivotable joint axis.
