Abstract:
A lighting system for ceiling grid systems advantageously uses a grid member designed to cooperate with a strip light to secure the strip light generally aligned beneath the grid system. The grid system can be initially installed with the cooperating grid members at specified locations. The strip lights can then be installed to the grid system. This arrangement simplifies installation particularly installations in commercial type spaces and larger scale architectural projects.

Claim (Index 1):
A ceiling grid system in combination with low voltage strip lights,\n the ceiling grid system comprising a series of connected grid members for supporting and securing ceiling panels, wherein at least some of the grid members are adapted to support the strip lights and include a downwardly projecting central securement and alignment arrangement, each downwardly projecting central securement and alignment arrangement cooperating to receive and releasably secure one of the low voltage strip lights, the downwardly projecting central securement and alignment arrangement including in cross section two opposed downwardly extending securement arms; each strip light including an elongate housing having an upwardly extending securing component and a downwardly opening lamp chamber positioned below the securing component and including a series of light sources spaced along a length of the lamp chamber, the upwardly extending securing component including two upwardly extending arms spaced to receive respective downwardly extending securement arms therebetween, the securing component having an insert type connection with the respective downwardly projecting central securement and alignment arrangement in which the downwardly extending securement arms and the upwardly extending arms cooperate such that the downwardly extending securement arms are received between and contact the upwardly extending arms; and at least two spring clips associated with each downwardly projecting central securement and alignment arrangement and the respective securing component and configured to releasably secure overlapping surfaces thereof, wherein each spring clip includes:\n spring arms that releasably engage inward facing surfaces of the downwardly extending securement arms of the respective grid member, and \n outwardly extending locking tabs that lock with the upwardly extending arms of the respective strip light to secure the spring clips to the strip light.
