  • Patent number: 12228258
    Abstract: A linear luminaire includes a linear channel defining an interior space and a linear light inset configured for being inserted into the channel in the interior space. The light inset includes a cover and a printed circuit board fixed to the cover. The printed circuit board supports a plurality of light emitting diodes. The cover base wall includes a translucent portion. The light emitting diodes are arranged for emitting light through the translucent portion. The cover includes two cover connectors, each configured for being snapped into the channel to hold the cover in the interior space. The cover connectors are on an opposite side of the printed circuit board as the translucent portion.

  • Patent number: 12181130
    Abstract: A linear luminaire includes a linear channel defining an interior space. The linear channel includes a first linear channel section and a second linear channel section in line with each other. A longitudinal end of the first linear channel section abuts a longitudinal end of the second linear channel section at a junction. Each of the first linear channel section and the second linear channel section includes a channel base wall, a first channel side wall and a second channel side wall. The first channel side wall and the second channel side wall extend away from the base wall and define an interior space therebetween. Free ends of the first and second side walls define an inlet opening of the respective first linear channel section or second linear channel section.

  • Publication number: 20240280250
    Abstract: A lighting assembly connector is configured for being inserted into a lighting track. The lighting assembly connector includes a casing having a width defining a lateral direction and a length defining longitudinal direction. The length is greater than or equal to the width. The casing is definable as including three sections each defining one-third of the length. The three sections include a middle section, a first end section including a first longitudinal end of the casing and a second end section including a second longitudinal end of the casing. The middle section has a greater average width than each of the first end section and the second end section. The lighting assembly connector also includes a plurality of electrical contacts extending out of the casing each configured for contacting a respective line of the lighting track; and at least one fastener connected to the casing configured for removably connecting the lighting assembly connector to the lighting track.
