Abstract: A component lighting system allows for easy installation, removal, and reconfiguration. The system allows individual elements to be readily replaced and allows new components to be readily added to the system. The system can be removed from one installation, broken down into its individual elements, and installed in a new installation with the same or a different configuration. The electric conductors of the system are encased within conduit and junction boxes rated for high voltage systems such as traditional 110V or 220V lighting systems so that the system is compatible with both traditional line voltage AC systems and low voltage DC LED systems. The junction boxes and conduit are plenum-rated such that the system to be installed above a drop ceiling while conforming to most existing building codes.
