Abstract

A demountable wall system that includes a base trim that receives an accent lighting assembly. The lower trim of the demountable wall system includes one or more lighting base trim sections that receive an accent lighting assembly. The accent lighting assembly includes an extruded diffuser formed from a transparent plastic material. The diffuser receives a light strip having a series of spaced LED lights each positioned to project light through a curved, projection wall of the diffuser. When the accent lighting assembly is mounted to the lighting base trim member, the accent lighting assembly projects light downward toward the floor and onto an angled face wall of the lighting base trim member. The lighting base trim member can selectively replace decorative base trim members of the demountable wall system.

Claims (17)

1. An accent lighting system for use with a demountable modular wall system including a plurality of wall panels each having a bottom end supported along a floor channel mounted to a floor, comprising:

a lighting base trim member positionable to conceal a space between the bottom end of each wall panel and the floor, wherein the lighting base trim member is configured to be secured to the floor channel;

a decorative base trim member configured to be positioned on an opposite side of the wall panel from the lighting base trim, wherein the decorative base trim member is configured to be secured to the floor channel; and

an accent lighting assembly mounted to the lighting base trim member to generate accent lighting directed away from the wall panel and onto the floor.

2. The accent lighting system of claim 1 wherein the lighting base trim member includes a receiving cavity that receives the accent lighting assembly.

3. The accent lighting system of claim 2 wherein the receiving cavity includes a horizontal flange that partially defines the receiving cavity and a support shoulder that retains the accent lighting assembly within the receiving cavity.

4. The accent lighting system of claim 1 wherein the accent lighting assembly includes a diffuser having an open interior and a light strip contained within the open interior.

5. The accent lighting system of claim 4 wherein the light strip includes a plurality of spaced LED lights.

6. The accent lighting system of claim 5 wherein the diffuser includes a curved projection wall, wherein the plurality of spaced LED lights face the curved projection wall.

7. The accent lighting system of claim 6 wherein the diffuser is formed from a clear, extruded plastic.

8. An accent lighting system for use with a demountable modular wall system including a plurality of wall panels each having a first outer surface, a second outer surface and a bottom end wherein the bottom end is supported along a floor channel mounted to a floor, comprising:

a lighting base trim member positionable to contact the first outer face surface of the wall panel and conceal a space between the bottom end of each wall panel and the floor, wherein the lighting base trim member is configured to be secured to the floor channel, the lighting base trim member including a receiving cavity;

a decorative base trim member configured to be positioned in contact with the second outer face surface of the wall panel opposite the lighting base trim member, wherein the decorative base trim member is configured to be secured to the floor channel to conceal the space between the bottom end of each wall panel and the floor; and

an accent lighting assembly mounted within the receiving cavity of the lighting base trim member to generate accent light directed away from the first outer face surface of the wall panel and onto the floor, wherein the accent lighting assembly includes a diffuser having an open interior and a light strip contained within the open interior.

9. The accent lighting system of claim 8 wherein the receiving cavity includes a horizontal flange that partially defines the receiving cavity and a support shoulder that retains the accent lighting assembly within the receiving cavity.

10. The accent lighting system of claim 8 wherein the light strip includes a plurality of spaced LED lights.

11. The accent lighting system of claim 10 wherein the diffuser includes a curve projection wall, wherein the plurality of spaced LED lights face the curved projection wall.
