Abstract: A set of louvers adapted for use with a linear luminaire has a first wall, a second wall spaced from the first wall, and a plurality of louvers extending between the first wall and the second wall. Each of the plurality of louvers is fixed to the first wall and the second wall, and may be integrally formed with the walls, and each of the plurality of louvers is spaced from the others. First and second side portions depend from the first wall and the second wall. An internal cavity of the set of louvers is defined by bottoms of the plurality of louvers and the first and second side portions. Engaging structure is defined on inwardly-facing surfaces of the first and second side portions. Combinations including the set of louvers and a linear luminaire in which the set of louvers “snaps on” externally to the linear luminaire are disclosed.

Abstract: A channel system that includes a first channel section, a second channel section, and a hinge joint between the first and second channel sections is disclosed. The hinge joint allows the first channel section to fold against the second channel section for storage and shipping of the channel system. In one embodiment, the hinge joint itself includes a hinge member that extends between the two channel sections and bends hingedly to allow movement and two intermediate endcaps, which cap the channel sections on either side of the hinge joint. The hinge joint may be designed to “snap back” to a fully extended position. Mechanical securement structure may be added to the first channel section and the second channel section to improve force and retention during the “snap back” movement.
