  • Publication number: 20070024211
    Abstract: A flexible cable is provided for a lighting system having a power supply that includes a power supply input to receive a first signal having a first frequency and a circuit for converting the first signal to a second signal, and at least one luminaire coupled to a lamp driver. The cable comprises a first leg of wires for carrying the second signal. The first wire electrically connects a loop output of the power supply to an input of the lamp driver and a second wire electrically connects an output of the lamp driver to a loop return of the power supply. The cable further comprises a second leg of wires electrically connected to a ground of the power supply and the ground of the lamp driver. The second signal has a substantially constant current and a second frequency distinctly higher than the first frequency. The flexible cable further comprises a modular connector.

  • Publication number: 20050200308
    Abstract: A lighting system having a power supply and at least one luminaire. The power supply includes a power supply input to receive a first signal having a first frequency and a circuit for converting the first signal to a second signal. The power supply also includes at least one power supply output to output a second signal having a substantially constant current and a second frequency distinctly higher than the first frequency. The luminaire includes a lamp coupled to a lamp driver circuit, which has an input for receiving the output signal from the power supply and which is configured to use the received output signal to operate the lamp. The lamp driver input and the power supply output may be connected by a flexible cable.
