ABSTRACT:
A lighting system comprising a light rail (40) and an adapter (10) for energizing the light rail (40). The light rail (40) is comprised of a substantially flat, thermoplastic, elongated track (46) enclosing two conductive strips (45) and (47) from which multiple pairs of oppositely polarized spades (41), (42), (43) and (44) project. Each pair of the multiple paired spades receives an illuminating lamp (not shown), except a pair energized by the adapter. The adapter (10) has a body (12) with a pair of spade receiving slots (22) and (24) dimensioned to receive therein the paired spades (42) and (43) of the rail to energize the same. A removable fuse (37) extends longitudinally across the body (12) of the adapter (10) to protect against circuit overload.
