A torch pole assembly including a torch pole having a top, a bottom, and a length between the top and bottom. An opening passes through the torch pole transverse to its length. A step comprises a pair of spaced apart sidewalls, each defining a sidewall opening situated on the common axis, and a floor spanning between the sidewalls and spaced apart from the sidewall openings. An axle occupies the common axis and passes through the pair of sidewall openings and the torch pole opening. The step is rotatable from a parallel position to a perpendicular position in which the floor is perpendicular to the length of the torch pole, the step floor defining a cutout proximate the collar that receives and contacts the collar when the step is in the perpendicular position thereby preventing the step from rotation beyond the perpendicular position.

The present disclosure relates to a light fixture for absorbing sound energy. The light fixture is composed of a body comprising a set of discs and a set of supporting elements. As an example, the discs may be annular discs with a central opening for receiving a lamp fitting and/or a reflector. The supporting elements may be pillars that are fixedly attached to the discs e.g. using a plurality of fittings. The discs may comprise a sound absorbing material, such that the light fixture is suitable for absorbing sound energy. This is particularly useful in large indoor environments such as open offices, lobbies, halls, and auditoriums, which all benefit from improved acoustics. The light fixture may comprise two or more light sources, e.g. for distributing light both radially and downwards. In one embodiment, the light fixture is a pendant light.

Assemblies, systems and methods for balanced suspension of luminaires are provided. In some embodiments a luminaire mounting and suspension assembly is provided comprising a mounting unit and a plurality of suspension units. Each suspension unit comprises a housing coupled to the mounting unit and a yoke pivotally coupled to the housing at a pivot point. The yoke comprises a pair of cable grippers, each cable gripper positioned on opposing sides of the pivot point and configured to grip a suspension cable for suspending a luminaire, wherein an axis of the pivot point is perpendicular to axes of the suspension cables and whereby free rotation of the yoke about the pivot point evenly balances tension between the suspension cables. In some embodiments a luminaire system is provided comprising a mounting and suspension assembly and a luminaire suspended by the assembly. In some embodiments a method of suspending a luminaire is provided comprising providing and suspending a luminaire system and employing the system to evenly balance tension between pairs of suspension cables.

A lighting system has a set of linear lighting elements and a set of suspension elements. Each suspension element comprises an upper fixing part and a lower connection part facing downwardly for making electrical and mechanical connection to an upward facing connector on a top face of an end of a linear lighting element. This enables a simple a push fit connection of the lighting elements to the suspension elements, after they have been suspended from a support structure above them.

A mounting system for suspending luminaires from a mounting surface with a cord. In some embodiments, the cord houses both the cable for supporting the luminaire in a suspended orientation as well as the electrical wires or connectors for electrically connecting the luminaire to a power source. In some embodiments, the mounting system is designed to ensure that the cable bears the entire weight of the luminaire and that the connectors bear no weight of the luminaire. The mounting system can include a pan that is mounted to the mounting surface and a rotatable joint positioned within the pan. The cord is attached to the rotatable joint. Rotation of the rotatable joint within the pan enables the cord to extend at nadir regardless of the angle of the mounting surface and without kinking of the cord.

The invention relates to a strip light system, having an elongated carrier rail (1), which extends along a longitudinal axis (L) and has a U shape in a cross section normal to the longitudinal axis (L) as viewed in a first approximation, so that a first U leg (2), a second U leg (3) and a connecting leg (4), which connects the two U legs (2, 3) to one another, are formed, wherein at least one pass-through opening (5, 5) is formed in the connecting leg (4), and also having at least one luminaire, which is designed to be connected to the carrier rail (1), wherein at least one cover element (6), which is designed to be mounted on the carrier rail (1) so as to cover the at least one pass-through opening (5, 5), is provided.

A lighting system includes a linear luminaire having a length and a width, where the length is longer than the width. Further, the lighting system includes at least two rigid pendants that are configured to suspension mount the linear luminaire from a mounting surface. Each rigid pendant is coupled to the linear luminaire via a clevis such that a joint between the rigid pendants and the linear luminaire is a clevis swivel joint that allows the linear luminaire to swing along the length to meet a seismic requirement while preventing a tilting of the linear luminaire along the width.
