Abstract: A system, assembly and method for providing power to individual shelves of adjustable shelving wherein such powering, in one or more embodiments, does not require the use of exposed wiring, is adaptable and usable with existing adjustable shelving without considerable changes in the shelving hardware, and/or enables the powering to be provided in an automated basis wherein such does not rely on the mechanical or structural shelf mounting assemblies or components for transmitting power to each shelf, and therefore can be utilized with any current or future shelf mounting system and each shelf receives the per-shelf powering to power any form of shelf related power loads.

Abstract: An assembly, system and method for adaptively monitoring and operating a lamp fixture include a power input interface, a ballast, and a lamp interface. The ballast is coupled to the power input interface for receiving the received input power and creating lamp power between a first lamp terminal and a second lamp terminal. The ballast includes a transformer having a primary winding, a first lamp powering secondary winding, and a second lamp powering secondary winding. The transformer further includes a non-lamp powering secondary or third secondary winding for detecting a ballast operating parameter and transmitting a sensed ballast operating parameter value corresponding to the detected ballast operating parameter. A sensor detects an arc current circulating through a lamp received in the lamp interface and transmits a sensed arc current value corresponding to the detected arc current.
