CONNECTOR SYSTEM FOR LIGHTING ASSEMBLY
A support connector for maintaining an end of a linear LED lamp on a light fixture has a first portion comprising an integral mounting base configured to couple to a support of the light fixture and a second portion configured to be insertable through an opening defined in a sidewall of a first end connector at an end of the linear LED lamp. The support connector has a second portion with at least one second surface configured to be placed into confronting relationship with a corresponding at least one first surface of the first end connector to prevent separation of the support connector and the first end connector with the second portion of the support connector residing within the first end connector in an engaged position. The support connector has third and fourth conductive electrical terminals configured to engage first and second conductive electrical terminals of the first end connector as the first end connector is moved into the engaged position.
Longitudinal stress mitigation for elongate LED luminaires
Apparatus and associated methods relate to a biased engagement relationship between an end cap and a support base slidably disposed within the elongate enclosure of a luminaire. In an illustrative example, the end cap may be in a fixed relationship to an open end of a translucent elongate enclosure that extends along a longitudinal axis. In some examples, the enclosure may house an LED light engine mounted to the support base. A spring may provide, for example, biased engagement relationship between the end cap and the support base over a predetermined range sufficient to prevent direct force transfer between the end cap and the support base over operating temperature ranges and/or vibration profiles. Some embodiments may dynamically damp vibrations of the support base within the enclosure, while providing for differential expansion and contraction of the enclosure and the support base, for example, over a wide temperature range.
LAMP FOR LAPTOP
A lamp for a laptop includes a lamp arm, a base, and a lamp body. The lamp arm has a connecting element and a first electrical contact located at the connecting element. The base has a first rotating shaft portion fixedly connected to the connecting element. The lamp body includes a casing, a circuit board, a second electrical contact, and a flexible circuit board. The casing has a second rotating shaft portion adapted to rotate relative to the first rotating shaft portion. The circuit board is disposed in the casing. The second electrical contact passing through the first rotating shaft portion is configured to contact the first electrical contact. The flexible circuit board is electrically connected between the circuit board and the second electrical contact. When the lamp body is rotated, the relative position of the second electrical contact and the first electrical contact is fixed.
Lighting assembly
An elongate tubular lighting assembly having a body with a length between spaced first and second ends. The tubular lighting assembly has a source of illumination and first and second connectors respectively at the first and second body ends. The first connector has cooperating first and second parts having first and second surfaces. The first and second connector parts are configured so that the first and second surfaces are placed in confronting relationship to prevent separation of the first and second connector parts with the body in an operative state as an incident of the first connector part moving relative to the second connector part from a position fully separated from the second connector part in a substantially straight path that is transverse to the length of the body into an engaged position.
