ABSTRACT:
An improved lighting apparatus is disclosed for illuminating the interior of a refrigerated display case which uses in combination a unique configuration of a main lighting unit behind the cornice as well as an illumination device under the front edge of each shelf wherein each shelf includes a lightrace extending longitudinally adjacent the front edge thereof for retaining the power supply wires therein and wherein the electrical power is supplied to the lighting means through a one-piece end plug electrical coupling designed to seal the end of the lightrace while simultaneously providing electrical connection to a mounting fixture for a fluorescent lamp. The mounting fixture preferably includes a means for mounting of the lamp therein as well as a coupling adapted to engage the electrical coupling of the one-piece end plug electrical coupling in the end of the lightrace for facilitating powering of the shelf illumination lights. The present design includes a novel ballast retaining chamber behind the cornice as well as several specially designed reflector members to facilitate downward illumination from the main lighting within the upper portion of the housing to fully capture and efficiently direct the lumen output of the fluorescent lamps.
