Abstract: A flexible power conductor strip is disclosed. The power conductor strip comprises an elongate, flexible printed circuit board that carries a pair of conductors. Connectors are mounted on the power conductor strip at a regular pitch or spacing and are electrically connected to the pair of conductors. The flexible printed circuit board is arranged such that it can be physically cut into independent functional units, each of the independent functional units including some connectors.

Abstract: Linear LED lighting is disclosed. The linear LED lighting includes a flexible PCB on which a number of LED light engines are disposed, typically at a regular pitch. The PCB is surrounded by a flexible, translucent covering, which may be a plastic, such as poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC). The covering has a light modifying property or effect, typically lensing, diffusion, or a combination of the two. For example, the covering may form a plano-convex or plano-concave lens, or it may form a prism. Additionally or alternatively, the coating may include an additive that diffuses the light, or have a coating with that additive that does so. Exemplary additives include beads, microspheres, fibers, or other particles of glass and silica, as well as plastics like poly(methyl methacrylate), polycarbonate, and poly(ethylene terephthalate). In some embodiments, the covering may be mechanically modified to diffuse light, e.g., by an impressed pattern or by abrasion.

Abstract: A strip of linear lighting with distributed power conversion is disclosed. The linear lighting includes a flexible PCB. The flexible PCB is divided into repeating blocks, which are arranged electrically in parallel with one another between power and ground. Each repeating block includes power conversion and conditioning circuits. A plurality of LED light engines are connected to the outputs of the power conversion and conditioning circuits, electrically in series with one another. The power conversion and conditioning circuits typically include at least a full-bridge rectifier. A pair of conductors run the length of the PCB adjacent to it and are connected to each of the repeating blocks. A flexible, transparent covering surrounds the PCB and pair of conductors.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to connectors for connecting strips of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) end-to-end and for connecting a single strip of LEDs to a power source. The connectors define a compartment to receive a strip of LEDs. Tabs extending inwardly from the sides of the connector retain the strip. Electrical contact with the strip is made by a pair of spring clip contacts that bear against electrical terminals on the strip. A hinged lid has an opening positioned so as not to obstruct the last LED on the strip, and carries a downwardly-facing block that bears against the spring clip ends to keep them in contact with the terminals of the strip. In a strip-to-power connector, the connector defines one compartment for each conductor, and each conductor carries connecting structure. Ends of the spring clip connectors carry complementary connecting structure.

Abstract: Junction boxes for enclosing and making electrical connections to LED drivers are disclosed. The junction boxes include a bottom or base and a cover. Dividers arising from the base divide the junction box into high-voltage and low-voltage compartments. A cut-out open at the top of each divider allows a driver to be placed in a junction box without having to pull wires through holes or openings. Typically, the base is open along the top and along at least a portion of one sidewall, with the cover being L- or U-shaped to complete the enclosure. Various mounting mechanisms are disclosed for securing drivers within junction boxes. Embodiments that can house several drivers or components within one junction box are disclosed, as are weather- and water-resistant embodiments.

Abstract: An LED lighting kit comprises an extrusion, an LED strip, a tapered wedge, and a mounting clip. The clip is sized and shaped to springably engage ledges in a first channel of the extrusion when the strip is mounted. In one aspect, two extrusions are butted end-to-end and are aligned by inserting the tapered wedge into the first channel of each extrusion prior to butting them together. The extrusion contains a second channel that houses the LED strip. A translucent diffuser is springably inserted into the second channel, thereby diffusing light that is emitted by the LED strip. End caps are inserted into the ends of the extrusion to complete the light kit. At least one of the end caps has a hole to admit electrical wires to power the LED strip.

Abstract: A rotating bracket includes an endcap, a fastener, a support, a spacer, and securement structure. The endcap is adapted to fit an end of a linear lighting channel and has a keyed opening. The fastener has a keyed shank complementary to the keyed opening of the endcap and is adapted to be inserted into the endcap with the keyed shank of the fastener engaging the keyed opening of the endcap. The support has a slot or opening adapted to accommodate the fastener. The spacer is adapted to insert over the fastener such that it is positioned between the endcap and an inner face of the support. The securement structure engages the end of the fastener beyond an outer face of the support. Linear luminaires using the rotating bracket are also disclosed.

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 connector for a strip of linear lighting includes an outer shell or block and an adapter configured to be removably inserted into a cavity of the outer shell. The adapter may be a printed circuit board (PCB) adapted to mount wires on one side or edge. On the opposite side or edge, a series of contact pins are formed on the underside of the adapter. The outer shell includes a pressure-applying mechanism, like screws that insert through its thickness and are secured in a bar with threaded holes. The adapter is positioned such that the screws bear on and supply pressure to the contact pins. A strip of linear lighting is inserted into a slot beneath the adapter such that the contact pins of the adapter coincide with the solder pads or other electrical contacts of the strip of linear lighting.
