Abstract:
A modular overhead lighting system includes a raceway element and one or more interchangeable lighting modules capable of variable positioning relative to the raceway element. Multiple raceway conductors are mounted in the raceway element, with a portion of each raceway conductor being exposed along a lower surface thereof to facilitate continuously variable positioning of lighting modules. An electrical connector for establishing electrical connections between a raceway element and a lighting module includes multiple ridges incorporating electrical contacts configured to contact raceway conductors, and includes terminals to removably receive electrical wires permitting electrical communication between a lighting module and the raceway element.

Claim (Index 9):
A modular lighting apparatus, comprising:\n a raceway element comprising a left raceway wall, a right raceway wall opposing the left raceway wall, an upper raceway wall spanning generally between the left raceway wall and the right raceway wall, a plurality of electrical conductors, and a first mechanical coupling structure; wherein at least a portion of the left raceway wall and at least a portion of the right raceway wall extend downward relative to the upper raceway wall; and a lighting module comprising:\n a housing comprising a left housing wall, a right housing wall opposing the left housing wall, a transverse support arranged between the left housing wall and the right housing wall, and a second mechanical coupling structure configured to mate with the first mechanical coupling structure for removable attachment of the housing to the raceway element; \n at least one light-emitting element supported by the housing; and \n an electrical interconnect structure providing a plurality of electrical connections between the lighting module and the raceway element; \n wherein the lighting module is configured for mechanical and electrical coupling to the raceway element at any one module position of a plurality of module positions, wherein the plurality of module positions includes first and second module positions that overlap with one another.
