  • Patent number: 8911104
    Abstract: A mounting bracket for a linear LED tube-type light to be installed principally inside of display cases, shelves and soffits. In one embodiment, a cylindrical bracket is mounted to each side of a display case and an LED tube light (a semi-cylinder with mounted LED circuit boards) is inserted into these brackets and secured with a set screw. This bracket/tube system allows for power harness wiring through either side of the case or through a down rod at various positions to the bracket. Additional embodiments allow for mounting said brackets to the underside of the case glass or side walls using adhesive. Further embodiments incorporate this same cylindrical bracket design to mount the LED light tube to the front edge of shelves or on to a flat pedestal for mounting to a variety of flat surfaces such as a wall or ledge. Additional related embodiments are described and shown herein.
