  • Publication number: 20260139805
    Abstract: An orientation hub couples an electromechanical device, such as a luminaire with at least one bottom facing light source coupled, covered by an orientation specific lensed optics. The orientation hub enables the luminaire to rotate so as to direct light toward a targeted surface. Other devices (perhaps passive devices) coupled to the hub can be rotated to align with at least one surface or a like device by at least one of a string and a laser beam. For example, the laser beam can be projected through an array of luminaires' eye-loops that support the weight of the suspended from above luminaires.
