ABSTRACT:
A power takeoff and lighting unit for a fluorescent fixture is disclosed and comprises an elongate housing having spaced apart connectors on opposite ends for connection to a standard fluorescent lighting fixture. The housing includes a first segment containing electronics for converting power to usable power, such as direct current, and has a power cord that extends outwardly from the segment. Preferably, the unit has a maximum diameter less than twice the diameter of a standard fluorescent tube, and preferably less than 11/2 times the diameter of a standard fluorescent tube, thus providing a compact profile and enabling modular replacement of a standard bulb with the power takeoff lighting unit.
