ABSTRACT:
A bracket system for fluorescent lighting fixtures using tubular bulbs and a ballast assembly for mounting on such brackets is provided. Each of a pair of opposing brackets includes a main bracket section and at least two bulb-mounting/connecting ends that receive tubular fluorescent light bulbs therein and that electrically connect the light bulbs with the ballast-generated, high-frequency driving current. The ballast housing is adapted for quick-connection to and disconnection from the main bracket section. Contact pads are provided to each of the main bracket section and the ballast housing. Conventional AC power is received through some of the contact pads for input to the ballast, and high-frequency driving current is transmitted from the ballast back to other contact pads for distribution to the underlying bracket bulb-mounting/connecting ends and to those of the opposing bracket. The bulb-mounting/connecting ends can be mounted slidably on the main bracket section and can also pivot relative to the main bracket section for maximum adjustability.
