Abstract: LED light fixtures and methods of manufacturing same are provided. In one embodiment, a LED fixture assembly includes at least one cover configured to be disposed in a fluorescent light troffer, the at least one cover including at least one first cavity and a second cavity; at least one LED lamp module disposed in the first cavity; and a driver module disposed in the second cavity such that the driver module is visibly concealed and electrically coupled to at least one LED lamp module. Various embodiments of LED lamp modules have also been provided and are configured to provide light via direct and/or indirect lighting methods.

Abstract: Light emitting diode (LED) light fixtures and methods of manufacturing LED light fixtures are provided. In one embodiment, an LED light fixture comprises a housing having a back surface, a first end portion, and a second end portion. The LED light fixture further comprises a support strip attached to the back surface of the housing adjacent to the first end portion. The support strip has at least one lamp holder configured to physically support a first end of an LED lamp. Also, the LED light fixture includes a power supply strip attached to the back surface of the housing adjacent to the second end portion. The power supply strip has at least one receptacle configured to physically support a second end of the LED lamp. The at least one receptacle is further configured to provide electrical power to the LED lamp.

Abstract: A lampholder assembly is provided which includes first and second lampholders. The first lampholder includes first and second electrical connectors for electrically connecting a first end of an LED lamp to a host voltage supply-line and neutral-line, respectively, and preventing improper coupling to the voltage supply-line. The second lampholder includes a first plunger component for coupling to a second end of the LED lamp and cooperating with a second plunger component provided on the second end of the LED lamp for biasing at least one of the first and second plunger components to generate a force for supporting the LED lamp in an installation position. The first lampholder engages the LED lamp only when the LED lamp is oriented in the installation position so that the first and second electrical connectors electrically connect the LED lamp to the voltage supply-line and neutral return-line, respectively, for operating the LED lamp.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for supporting a lamp. The apparatus may include a ballast, a rigid power distribution unit, and a lamp holder. The lamp holder may be in electrical communication with the rigid power distribution unit. The rigid power distribution unit may include a track that has conducting rails for supplying power to lamp holders. The track may be used to position lamp holders at any desired spacing so the track may be used in connection with fixture designs requiring different center-to-center lamp spacing. In some embodiments, the rigid power distribution unit may include a printed circuit board. The lamp holder may clamp or be soldered onto the printed circuit board and draw power from it. The printed circuit board may have traces from each lamp holder to be plugged into it.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for supporting a fluorescent lamp. The apparatus may include a ballast and one or more lamp holders. The lamp holders may be in electrical communication with the ballast via a conductor. One or more lamp holders may be removably attachable to the ballast. When a lamp holder is attached to the ballast, it may be attached in a manner that places the lamp holder in electrical communication with the conductor. The apparatus may include a lamp holder module that may support one or more lamp holders. When a lamp holder is attached to the lamp holder module, it may be attached in a manner that places the lamp holder in electrical communication with a conductor that is configured to distribute power to lamp holders that are attached to the lamp holder module.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for supporting a fluorescent lamp. The apparatus may include an integrated ballast module. The integrated ballast module may include a ballast. The integrated ballast module may also include a housing having an exterior and an interior. The housing may be configured to support two or more lampholders exterior to the housing. The ballast may be located in the interior of the housing.
