Abstract

A lighting device installation method includes the following steps. Firstly, a holder including a first stopping structure and a first engaging structure is fixed on an installation surface. Then, a lighting device including a second stopping structure and a third stopping structure is provided. The second stopping structure and the third stopping structure are collaboratively defined as a second engaging structure. Then, the second engaging structure of the lighting device is stopped by the first stopping structure of the holder, so that the lighting device is supported by the lower portion of the holder. Then, electrical connection between the lighting device and a power source is established. Afterwards, the second engaging structure of the lighting device is engaged with the first engaging structure of the holder, so that the lighting device is supported by the upper portion of the holder.

Claims (33)

1. A lighting device installation method, comprising steps of:

fixing a holder on an installation surface, wherein the holder comprises a first stopping structure and a first engaging structure, wherein the first stopping structure is located at a lower portion of the holder, and the first engaging structure is located at an upper portion of the holder;

providing a lighting device comprising a second stopping structure and a third stopping structure, wherein the second stopping structure and the third stopping structure are located at an upper portion of the lighting device, and collaboratively defined as a second engaging structure;

allowing the second engaging structure of the lighting device to be stopped by the first stopping structure of the holder, so that the lighting device is supported by the lower portion of the holder;

establishing electrical connection between the lighting device and a power source; and

allowing the second engaging structure of the lighting device to be engaged with the first engaging structure of the holder, so that the lighting device is supported by the upper portion of the holder.

2. The lighting device installation method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lighting device further comprises a fourth stopping structure, and the fourth stopping structure is located near the first stopping structure of the holder, wherein the fourth stopping structure of the lighting device is stopped by the first stopping structure of the holder in case the first engaging structure is detached from the second engaging structure.

3. The lighting device installation method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein after the second engaging structure of the lighting device is engaged with the first engaging structure of the holder, the lighting device is securely fixed on the holder through a fastening element, wherein the fastening element is penetrated through the lighting device and fixed at a lower backside of the holder.

4. The lighting device installation method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first engaging structure is a protruding edge, and the second engaging structure is a recess.

5. The lighting device installation method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the power source is a utility power source, and the lighting device is electrically connected with the utility power source through a power wire.

6. The lighting device installation method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lighting device is a LED lamp selected from an outdoor path lamp, a garage lamp or an advertising lamp.

7. A lighting system, comprising:

a holder fixed on an installation surface, and comprising a first stopping structure and a first engaging structure, wherein the first stopping structure is located at a lower portion of the holder, and the first engaging structure is located at an upper portion of the holder;

a lighting device comprising a second stopping structure and a third stopping structure, wherein the second stopping structure and the third stopping structure are located at an upper portion of the lighting device, and collaboratively defined as a second engaging structure; and

a power source, wherein the lighting device is electrically connected with the power source,

wherein when the second engaging structure of the lighting device is stopped by the first stopping structure of the holder, the lighting device is supported by the lower portion of the holder,

wherein when the second engaging structure of the lighting device is engaged with the first engaging structure of the holder, the lighting device is supported by the upper portion of the holder.

8. The lighting system as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the lighting device further comprises a fourth stopping structure, and the fourth stopping structure is located near the first stopping structure of the holder, wherein the fourth stopping structure of the lighting device is stopped by the first stopping structure of the holder in case the first engaging structure is detached from the second engaging structure.

9. The lighting system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein after the second engaging structure of the lighting device is engaged with the first engaging structure of the holder, the lighting device is securely fixed on the holder through a fastening element, wherein the fastening element is penetrated through the lighting device and fixed at a lower backside of the holder.

10. The lighting system as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the first engaging structure is a protruding edge, and the second engaging structure is a recess.

11. The lighting system as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the power source is a utility power source, and the lighting device further comprises a power wire, wherein the lighting device is electrically connected with the utility power source through the power wire.

12. The lighting system as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the lighting device is a LED lamp selected from an outdoor path lamp, a garage lamp or an advertising lamp.

13. A lighting system, comprising:

a holder fixed on an installation surface, and comprising a first stopping structure and a first engaging structure, wherein the first stopping structure is located at a lower portion of the holder, and the first engaging structure is located at an upper portion of the holder;

a lighting device comprising a second stopping structure and a third stopping structure, wherein the second stopping structure and the third stopping structure are located at an upper portion of the lighting device, and collaboratively defined as a second engaging structure; and

a power source, wherein the lighting device is electrically connected with the power source,

wherein before the lighting device is electrically connected with the power source, the second engaging structure of the lighting device is stopped by the first stopping structure of the holder, so that the lighting device is supported by the lower portion of the holder,

wherein after the lighting device is electrically connected with the power source, the second engaging structure of the lighting device is engaged with the first engaging structure of the holder, so that the lighting device is supported by the upper portion of the holder.

14. The lighting system as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the lighting device further comprises a fourth stopping structure, and the fourth stopping structure is located near the first stopping structure of the holder, wherein the fourth stopping structure of the lighting device is stopped by the first stopping structure of the holder in case the first engaging structure is detached from the second engaging structure.

15. The lighting system as claimed in claim 14 , wherein after the second engaging structure of the lighting device is engaged with the first engaging structure of the holder the lighting device is securely fixed on the holder through a fastening element, wherein the fastening element is penetrated through the lighting device and fixed at a lower backside of the holder.

16. The lighting system as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the first engaging structure is a protruding edge, and the second engaging structure is a recess.

17. The lighting system as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the power source is a utility power source, and the lighting device further comprises a power wire, wherein the lighting device is electrically connected with the utility power source through the power wire.

18. The lighting system as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the lighting device is a LED lamp selected from an outdoor path lamp, a garage lamp or an advertising lamp.
