A support rail for holding and supplying power to a plurality of lighting modules. The support rail has first conductors for forming a first power supply circuit and second conductors for forming a second power supply circuit. The support rail additionally has a converter unit for electrically coupling the second power supply circuit to the first power supply circuit. The second power supply circuit also has a first coupling element for electrically connecting a first lighting module and a second coupling element for electrically connecting a second lighting module. The result of this design of the second power supply circuit is that a single converter unit is sufficient for converting a voltage for supplying power to the two lighting modules. In this way a particularly cost-effective and compact construction of the support rail becomes possible.

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.

A driving device according to an embodiment includes a supporting portion, an arm portion and a reinforced portion. The supporting portion includes an electrically-driven first drive source. The arm portion is supported by the supporting portion at one end portion in an extending direction and is, by the first drive source, rotatable about a first rotation axis that is along the extending direction, the arm portion including an electrically-driven second drive source. The reinforced portion is provided inside the arm portion and reinforces the arm portion. An object of operation is mounted on another end portion side of the arm portion and is rotatable about a second rotation axis intersecting the extending direction by the second drive source.

A system, method, and apparatus for retrofitting a fluorescent light fixture accommodating an LED-based lighting system. A track is electrically connected to the driver module. The track includes at least one electronic conductor that is connected along the length of the track. At least one track adapter may connect to the track, and the track adapter includes a locking mechanism that allows the track adapter to connect to the track at any location along the track and the track may be removed. The locking mechanism may permit the track adapter to be removable. At least one light engine module can connect to the track and may also be removable.

A lighting system includes an EL unit having a light emitter, a holding frame that holds the EL unit, and a control unit that controls lighting of the EL unit, wherein the holding frame includes a rail-shaped conductive member, and power and communication signals are transmitted between the control unit and the EL unit through the conductive member. With this configuration, since the connection between the control unit and the EL unit is made by the conductive member provided on the holding frame, which holds the EL unit, space for wiring in a residential space can be reduced. Further, simply by placing the holding frame on a mounting surface and attaching the EL unit and the control unit to the holding frame, they are connected. Therefore, without special skills, a resident can install the lighting system as appropriate and can easily replace the EL unit.
