The present disclosure provides advantageous lighting systems that can be installed on parallel rows of horizontal supports. The lighting systems can be configured to have a single electrical feedthrough on one end of the lamp that can also act as a mating feature between the lamp and supports. More particularly, the present disclosure provides improved lighting systems that are fixtureless, waterproof, customizable, and easy to install/remove.

A tubular LED light fixture includes a lamp holder; printed circuit board; a plurality of point light sources; lens; strip-shaped convex lens array, located between the lens and printed circuit board and arranged along the length direction of the tubular LED light fixture for converting each point light source into a plurality of consecutive sub point light sources, and the sub point light source converted by the adjacent point light source is connected or overlapped. The invention adopts a strip-shaped convex lens array which forms a line light source only by diffusing light from the point light source only in the length direction of the strip light fixture, preventing light from diffusing in multiple directions, so that the line source is purified. The lens is arranged to perform light distribution in the other direction to the line source, thereby reducing energy attenuation and ensuring the light effect.

An end cap mounting system for a lens of a lighting fixture includes a lens engagement portion having a proximal end, a distal end, an outer surface and an inner surface. The inner surface defines a cavity extending distally into the lens engagement portion from the proximal end for a cavity depth to a cavity end surface. The cavity has an inner wall with a perimeter corresponding to a first asymmetric shape of an outer profile of a lens. A central protrusion extends proximally from the cavity end surface towards the proximal end. The protrusion has an outer wall with a perimeter that corresponds to a second asymmetric shape of an inner profile of the lens. A gasket-receiving recess is positioned proximate to the cavity end surface between the outer wall of the central protrusion and the inner wall of the cavity to receive a gasket.

An adaptor, a light source device using the adaptor, and a lighting apparatus using the adaptor are provided. The adaptor includes a main body, a protruding part, and an operating component. The main body includes: a power supply mounting part, a light source mounting part, and a conducting circuit extending from the power supply mounting part to the light source mounting part; the protruding part is operatively movable to a blocking position for blocking the power supply mounting part from being engaged with the power supply module, and a releasing position for releasing the power supply mounting part to be engaged with the power supply module. The operating component is operatively movable on the main body to an on-position and an off-position.

An improved LED lighting system is provided for overhead ceiling lighting, as well as for other uses. The LED lighting system comprises elongated linear lamps having an LED luminary as a source of illumination and configured to operate as a node of an automated networked lighting system. The linear LED lamps have internal modular network connectors and control components so that they can receive control data and power signals over a single network cable according to a standardized power and data network communications architecture such as Ethernet. The system includes connector assemblies designed to securely mount the networkable linear LED lamps to conventional tube lamp lighting fixtures or to another support housing and to provide integrated power and data connectivity to internal components of the lamps. In one form, the disclosed system includes a network enabled snap-fit connector assembly mounted to a lighting fixture and configured to provide Ethernet power and data connectivity to the lamp. The LED lamps have first and second mechanical connectors at opposite ends of the lamp body, and the snap-fit connectors are configured to secure the lamps to an overhead lighting fixture or other support structure as an incident of the lamp ends moving relative to the mounting connectors in a substantially straight path that is transverse to the length of the body into an engaged position. The snap-fit connectors are also configured to form a network connection with an internal modular network connector associated with the lamp with the lamp mounted in its operative state on a support. In another form, a clipping mechanism is provided for mounting linear networkable LED lamps to an overhead grid ceiling system.

A lighting fixture includes a lighting tube and a light source assembly assembled in the lighting tube, and two end that respectively covers seal and block two ends of the lighting tube. Each of the two end covers is electrically connected with the light source assembly and an external element. The end cover includes a first connecting part and a second connecting part, the first connecting part is configured for achieving an electrical connection with the light source assembly and the external element; the second connecting part is sleeved outside the lighting tube and the first connecting part along a circumferential direction of the lighting tube, a periphery of the second connecting part is provided with a plurality of engaging parts, and the engaging parts are configured for achieving a mechanical connection with other lighting fixtures.

A lighting tube for uniform illumination is disclosed. The lighting tube includes a conduit having an inner layer, outer layer, and a middle layer between the inner and outer layers. The middle layer has at least two of a phosphor film, a diffusion film, and a UV-blocking film. The lighting tube also includes a light emitting chain located inside of the conduit. The light emitting chain includes control wires and a plurality of light emitting units spaced along the control wires. Each unit has a plurality of faces interconnected to form a polygon when viewed along a central axis, with each face being on a different side of the polygon. Each face has an LED coupled to the control wires. The LED emits light with a wavelength that causes the phosphor film to luminesce. The illumination of the middle layer by the chain is substantially uniform in all radial directions.
