ABSTRACT:
The lighting system according to the present invention is based on a modular lighting component or fixture which is designed to accommodate a single T8 (1" diameter) fluorescent tube. The T8 fluorescent tube which is smaller than the widely used T12 fluorescent tube is more efficient and lower powered than the more common T12 lamp. The modular system of fixtures each contain only one lamp and allow the end user to couple the correct quantity of fixtures to meet both the lighting requirements and the power density limitations of any application. The modular system of fixtures along with a system for coupling the fixtures allows extreme flexibility of layout designs for a variety of applications. The individual lighting fixture includes a lamp housing in which the single T8 light source is mounted, electrical connections for the light source, side reflectors and a plurality of cross vanes or louvers extending transversely below the light source. The individual lighting fixtures may be mounted individually, in twin-paks, or in rows to provide a wide assortment of lighting designs available to the lighting designer.
