The invention is a modular
ambient lighting system for providing lighting to the interior of the building. The
system features three separate modules: (1) a support module, (2) a
power module, and (3) a
light fixture body module. The support module provides an
electrical connection to the building and structural connection to the ceiling of the building. An interchangeable
power module fits into a recess or “foot print” in the support module. The
power module includes the electrical components of the
lighting system (e.g.
ballast,
transformer, emergency batteries, etc). An interchangeable
light fixture body module houses the lamp that can be configured to deliver direct, indirect, or direct / indirect illumination. The interchangeable features of the modules offers superior flexibility because of the ease to reconfigure the electrical operation of the light
system, the type illumination delivered, or the aesthetics of the light system.
