Abstract: A power and control assembly is disclosed. An LED driver is sized and adapted to fit within a single compartment of an electrical gang box, such as a two-gang box. An alternating current (AC) dimmer or other component is installed in an adjacent compartment. The AC dimmer supplies its output to the LED driver, which converts the AC power to an appropriate direct current (DC) power for LED lighting fixtures. The LED driver is typically recessed into the compartment, and is covered by a switch or another control element. In some cases, the switch may be a mechanical dummy selected for its aesthetic or fascial characteristics. In other cases, the switch or control element may be functional. With similar multiple-gang boxes, a number of drivers may be installed in the gang box and switches may allow both dimming and zone control.

Abstract: A wiring and connection management system is disclosed. The system comprises a set of power distribution members that are attached to a substrate and are connected together, forming a power grid to distribute power across the substrate. The members include a number of connectors disposed at regular intervals along their lengths. Corresponding sets of cables and connectors on the substrate convey power from the members to areas on the substrate where power is desired. The substrate may be, for example, a shelving unit. The system provides a robust, flexible source of power that is easily installed with minimal training and is also easily maintained.

Abstract: A modular lighting system for use with shelving and a variety of other applications. A power track is adapted to be disposed within an upright support of a shelving unit. A power plug with vertically-aligned prongs inserts through existing openings in the upright support to reach conductors within the power track. The power plug has connecting structure to connect to a cable, and frangible portions that allow the cable to exit in a number of positions. Light bars carry the same connecting structures, can connect to the cable and snap together to extend continuously across a shelf. A second power track and second plug may provide power to the power track within the upright. The second plug carries the same connecting structure as the other components.

Abstract: An endcap, e.g. for a linear luminaire. The endcap has projecting structure attached to and projecting from an inner surface thereof. The projecting structure defines at least two positions aligned with and spaced from one another along the inner surface. One or more crush ribs are connected to the projecting structure at each of the at least two positions. A trough is recessed into the inner surface of the endcap and surrounds at least a portion of each of the at least two positions. The trough provides space to receive any material that is separated from the one or more crush ribs when the endcap is inserted into a channel.

Abstract: A printed circuit board (PCB) is adapted to accept high-voltage, alternating-current (AC) power. Mounted on the PCB are two series of LED light engines. A first series of LED light engines is configured to illuminate during a first portion of the AC power cycle, and a second series of LED light engines is configured to illuminate during a second portion of the AC power cycle. The first portion and the second portion are different from one another. For example, the first series may be configured to illuminate during the positive half-cycle, and the second series may be configured to illuminate during the negative half-cycle. LED light engines of the first series and the second series may be interdigitated with one another on the PCB.

Abstract: An electrical gang box adapted for use with drivers is disclosed. The electrical gang box includes a main compartment with a front opening sized and adapted to accept an electrical control and structure around the front opening to secure the electrical control within the front opening and within the main compartment. The electrical gang box also includes a lower compartment that extends below the main compartment, is set back from the front of the main compartment and is open to the main compartment along an upper portion. The gang box may also include one or more pairs of rails disposed on opposite interior walls. In such cases, a divider panel is sized to slide into and extend between the rails to divide the gang box. Multiple-gang boxes with these features are also disclosed.

Abstract: A strip of encapsulated linear lighting with a partially encapsulated electrical connector is disclosed, as are processes for manufacturing such strips of encapsulated linear lighting. In these processes, connecting structure is connected to a strip of linear lighting. A portion of the connecting structure is then sheathed in a stopper. The stopper is used to dam a vessel or channel, the dammed vessel or channel is filled with resin, and the resin is caused or allowed to cure. The stopper protects the connecting structure from resin during the encapsulation process and leaves its contacts unencapsulated and exposed. The connecting structure can be connected to external structures, like a power cable or another segment of encapsulated linear lighting, after manufacture. A joint between the connecting structure and another structure can be overmolded or otherwise protected.

Abstract: A method for making continuous encapsulated linear lighting is disclosed. In this method, a PCB is placed within a channel, and the channel is dammed by one or more stoppers. The dammed segment is filled and then caused or allowed to cure. The stoppers are then removed from their initial positions and moved along the channel. If one runs out of channel before the desired length of linear lighting is achieved, a second piece of channel is abutted to the previous segment of channel, the PCB is laid into it, and a segment is dammed, filled, and cured. The process continues iteratively until the desired length is achieved or more channel is required. The PCB may initially be cut to the full desired length and applied to the channel piecewise as needed.
