An elongated lighting module having an asymmetric illumination source formed from at least two rows of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that extend along the long axis of the module and are independently controllable. The lighting modules are powered via a wiring harness that extends down a support pole to a power converter stack having LED drivers to control the modules. The power supply for lighting module includes a power enclosure having individual light emitting drivers for powering the rows of light emitting diodes that can adjust the power level to compensate for the loss of power from another of the light emitting drivers. The power supply may also include a backup that can be switched over to power the rows of light emitting diodes in the event of a failure.

A hermaphroditic connector for use in single or multiple twisted-pair connectivity applications is constructed using a small number of parts having a simple but durable assembly. The connector housing comprises an elongated form factor that, when mated with a similar hermaphroditic connector, forms a rigid overlapping shield around the electrical contacts of the two connectors. While unmated, the conductive tines within the connector have a default curved profile that facilitates reliable connectivity with tines of a mating connector. When the connector is mated with a similar connector, the tines are deformed to a flatter profile by support plates within the connectors, yielding a shape more conducive to high-frequency signal applications. The shape of the tines also yields multiple in-line redundant contact points to ensure reliable connectivity without adding to the width of the connector.

An interconnection system that is safe, reliable and compact. Mating connectors include complementary projections. Terminals in each connector have opposed beams, with portions of the beams of each terminal embedded in adjacent projections. In mating connectors, the terminals are oriented 90 degrees with respect to each other, such that the terminals of one connector fit between beams of the other. Two beams of each terminal press on opposing sides of a mating terminal, creating four points of contact, for reliable operation. The projections extend beyond the distal tips of the terminals and preclude accidental contact between the terminals and a human finger. Contact force may be controlled by altering the shape of openings cut in the terminals near the base of the beams, enabling the terminals to be formed simply by stamping a sheet of metal and further enabling the beams to be short to provide a compact connector.
