Abstract: A method for implementing lighting utilizes a lighting fixture having a plurality of lateral reflector positions, including selectively installing a first type reflector panel or a second type reflector panel in individual ones of the plurality of lateral reflector positions, the first type reflector panel having a greater uplighting capacity compared to the second type reflector panel, whereby the selectively installing determines, for the lighting fixture, a proportion of uplight versus downlight. For a plurality of tube positions disposed in a plane, a method may include vertically positioning a reflector assembly with respect to the plane. Individual reflector panels may be replaced by flexing the panel. A method may include providing a sensor switch operative to detect an occupant and connect an electrical path when the occupant is detected, and providing a selector for selecting ones of the ballasts to be connected to the electrical path by the sensor switch.

Abstract: An end cap for use with at least two differently diameter tube guards, wherein the two differently diameter tube guards are designed for use with a fluorescent lamp. The end cap includes a base with an aperture for accommodating electrical terminals defined on the fluorescent lamp, an internal periphery portion for frictional engagement with an external periphery of an end of one of the two differently diameter tube guards, and an external periphery portion for frictional engagement with an internal periphery of an end of the other one of the two differently diameter tube guards.

Abstract: A method, for implementing lighting by utilizing a lighting fixture having a plurality of laterally-spaced light source locations and corresponding lateral reflector positions, may include selectively installing a reflector of a first type or a second type in respective ones of the plurality of lateral reflector positions, the first type reflector having greater uplighting capacity compared to the second type reflector, whereby the selectively installing determines a proportion of uplight versus downlight. For a plurality of tube positions disposed in a plane, a method may include vertically positioning a reflector assembly with respect to the plane. Individual reflector panels may be replaced by flexing the panel. A method may include providing a sensor switch operative to detect an occupant and connect an electrical path when the occupant is detected, and providing a selector for selecting ones of the ballasts to be connected to the electrical path by the sensor switch.

Abstract: An socket is provided with a flexible nib that is able to be received by a mounting plate with an aperture. The socket is easily removed and secured to the mounting plate and will also be received in a mounting plate without an aperture.
