Title:
MODULAR AMBIENT LIGHTING SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004083720
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
The invention is a modular ambient lighting system for providing lighting to the interior of the building. The system features three separate modules: 1) a support module (10), 2) a power module (15), and 3) a light fixture body module (25). The support module (10) provides an electrical connection to the building and structural connection to the ceiling of the building. An interchangeable power module (15) fits into a recess or "foot print" in the support module (10). The power module (15) includes the electrical components of the lighting system (e.g. ballast, transformer, emergency batteries, etc). An interchangeable light fixture body (25) module houses the lamp that can be configured to deliver direct, indirect, or direct/indirect illumination. The interchangeable features of the modules offers superior flexibility because of the ease to reconfigure the electrical operation of the light system, the type illumination delivered, or the aesthetics of the light system.
