Abstract: A modular lighting system adapted to be installed in and illuminate an environment. The lighting system includes a first light fixture including a first canopy assembly adapted to engage a desired surface in the environment, a first light-emitting diode (LED) module, and a second LED module. The first LED module has a first connector assembly configured to mechanically and electrically connect the first LED module to the first light fixture via the first canopy assembly, the second connector assembly is configured to mechanically and electrically connect the second LED module to the first LED module, and the first LED module is interchangeable with a third LED module including a third connector assembly configured to mechanically and electrically connect the third LED module to both the second LED module and the first light fixture via the first canopy assembly.

Abstract: A junction box for a light fixture. The junction box is configured to be mounted to a desired surface within an environment and includes a housing, a bracket coupled to the housing, an internal cavity defined by the housing and the bracket, a driver disposed in the internal cavity, an adapter removably disposed within the internal cavity, and a cover removably coupled to the adapter to selectively close the internal cavity. The cover includes an opening configured to receive a portion of the light fixture to removably couple the light fixture to the junction box. When the cover is coupled to the adapter, the adapter retains the driver in the cavity and prevents access to the driver, and when the cover is removed, the adapter is removable from the cavity, thereby permitting access to the driver.

Abstract: The present invention is a lighting device with color temperature control function, including two modulated power input ends, a rectifier that rectifies the modulated power and outputs a rectified modulated power, a first LED module and a second LED module that have different color temperatures, and a dimming control unit. The modulated power includes multiple cycles of a sinewave, and each cycle of the sinewave has a firing angle. The dimming control unit reads a lighting modulation command code that is carried in the modulated power according to the firing angle of each cycle, and controls the luminous intensity of the first and second LED modules respectively to perform a designated combination of color temperature of lighting effect.

Abstract: A bendable line voltage track lighting system includes a track having a conductor subassembly and first and second bendable sheaths that engage the conductor subassembly. The conductor subassembly includes first and second insulators that receive first and second bus-bars, respectively, and a compression gasket for biasing the two insulators into engagement with guide grooves in the bendable sheaths. Power is fed to the track by power connectors that engage the bus-bars contained within the conductor subassembly. Light fixtures are powered by making electrical contact with the bus-bars of the conductor subassembly.

Abstract: An ultra-short Chayote-like compact electronic energy-saving fluorescent lamp comprising, in one embodiment, a base, an upper cover, a lower cover, a luminous tube of the Chayote-like lamp and an electronic ballast. The luminous tube of the Chayote-like lamp is formed by bending several U-shaped unit luminous tubes at certain curvature into finger-shaped luminous tubes, and by connecting and assembling the finger-shaped unit luminous tubes according to the shape of a Chayote using the method of bridge connection. The Chayote-like lamp has the advantages of ultra-short structure, higher luminous efficiency, higher reliability and other benefits. The Chayote-like lamp of the present invention can be used for general illumination, although it is preferably used in combination with the lamps and lanterns having covers.

Abstract: A connector for a coaxial cable having an conductive inner cable surrounded by a conductive outer cable with an insulator between the inner and outer cables. The conductor includes a conductive first base member having a first opening therethrough adapted to received the inner and outer cables therein, an insulating member secured to the first base member and having a second opening therethrough substantially in alignment with the first base member first opening, and a conductive second base member secured to the insulating member and conductively insulated from the first base member. The insulating member second opening is restricted relative to the first base member first opening whereby the second opening is adapted to receive the inner cable and the insulator and to block the outer cable from entry into the second opening. The second base member has a pocket substantially in alignment with the first and second openings and adapted to receive the inner cable and the insulator therein.
