  • Publication number: 20160014869
    Abstract: A plurality of LED light fixtures are mounted in a ceiling of an auditorium and a power control system is positioned in an area separate from a seating area of the auditorium for supplying power to the LED light fixtures. Each LED light fixture comprises an extrusion carrying one or more ambience light LED modules for providing ambient light and one or more high intensity LED modules for providing full level lighting. The power control system is configured to collectively switch the ambience light LED modules “on” and “off” and to separately and collectively switch the high intensity LED modules “on” and “off” to thereby provide either low level ambient light or high intensity full level lighting to the auditorium.

  • Patent number: 8864347
    Abstract: An illustrative modular light fixture apparatus may comprise a plurality of modules, each having a base component and a cover component. The base component has a split vertical male plug positioned within a cylindrical recess, and a cylindrical female receptacle formed at an opposite end thereof. The cylindrical female receptacle and split male plug are so configured such that the female receptacle of one module will snap fittingly or otherwise interconnect with the split male plug of another module. The cover component has respective pairs of rectangular openings on first and second sides thereof configured to snap fittingly engage respective tabs on the sides of the base component as the cover component is pushed downwardly over the base component to thereby attach the cover component to the base component.
