Surface ambient wrap light fixture
First Claim
1. A modular light fixture, comprising:
- a housing subassembly comprising a male attachment structure; and
a lighting subassembly, comprising;
at least one end cap, said end cap comprising a female attachment structure for receiving said male attachment structure; and
an elongated wrap body, wherein at least a portion of said at least one end cap is over said elongated wrap body;
wherein said housing subassembly is coupled to said light subassembly along a side of said elongated wrap body that is substantially orthogonal to said at least one end cap; and
wherein said male attachment structure and said female attachment structure engage to couple said housing subassembly to said at least one end cap such that said housing subassembly and said lighting subassembly are removably attached.

Abstract
A modular fixture that is well-suited for use with solid state light sources, such as LEDs, to provide a surface ambient light (SAL). The fixture comprises two structural components: a housing subassembly and a lighting subassembly. These two subassemblies may be removably attached to operate as a singular fixture. Many different lighting subassemblies may be compatible with a single housing subassembly and vice versa. The housing subassembly comprises a frame that is mountable to an external structure. The lighting subassembly comprises the light sources and optical elements that tailor the light to achieve a particular profile. Electronics necessary to power and control the light sources may be disposed in the lighting subassembly. Various mount mechanisms may be used to attach the fixture to a surface such as a ceiling or a wall. Multiple fixtures can be connected serially to provide an extended linear fixture.
