Abstract

A light fixture and wireway assembly is provided in a low-profile configuration wherein at least a portion of a plurality of wireways are disposed in a stacked configuration with a low-profile, edge-lit LED light engine. In one configuration, at least portions of two to four individual wireways are disposed in a stacked configuration with a low-profile, edge-lit LED light engine powered by an LED power supply also disposed within the outer perimeter of the overall assembly. Each wireway can be accessed through a single wireway wall without requiring conduit outside of the outer perimeter of the assembly.

Claims (52)

1. A wireway and light fixture assembly comprising:

an outer perimeter wall defining an interior; the outer perimeter wall including a top wall;

an LED light engine;

at least first and second wireways disposed within the interior;

the LED light engine and the at least two wireways being disposed in a stacked configuration with portions of the at least two wireways being disposed directly between the LED light engine and the top wall;

wherein the first and second wireways are spaced from the top wall of the outer perimeter wall;

further comprising a third wireway; at least one of the first and second wireways being connected to and extending from the third wireway;

wherein the third wireway is disposed in a stacked configuration with a portion of the third wireway disposed directly between the LED light engine and the top wall of the outer perimeter wall;

wherein the third wireway is spaced from the top wall of the outer perimeter wall;

further comprising a fourth wireway; at least one of the first, second, and third wireways being connected to and extending from the fourth wireway; and

wherein the fourth wireway is disposed in a stacked configuration with a portion of the fourth wireway disposed directly between the LED light engine and the top wall of the outer perimeter wall.

2. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising hangers supporting the wireways from the top wall.

3. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the LED light engine is an edge-lit LED light engine.

4. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising an LED power supply disposed within the interior.

5. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein an interior of each wireway is separated from the interior by only a single wireway wall.

6. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the outer perimeter wall is elongated in a longitudinal direction; the first and second wireways being parallel to each other and to the LED light engine in the longitudinal direction.

7. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein each wireway includes its own wireway door.

8. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the LED light engine selectively pivots between closed and open positions; the open position providing access to the interior.

9. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the LED light engine is carried by a door that selectively pivots between the closed and open positions.

10. A wireway and light fixture assembly comprising:

an outer perimeter wall defining an interior; the outer perimeter wall including a top wall;

an LED light engine;

at least first and second wireways disposed within the interior;

the LED light engine and the at least two wireways being disposed in a stacked configuration with portions of the at least two wireways being disposed directly between the LED light engine and the top wall; and

further comprising a communications wireway assembly disposed outside the outer perimeter wall; the communications wireway assembly includes a plurality of wireways that each has its own door; the plurality of wireways being disposed behind a common door.

11. The assembly of claim 10 , wherein the LED light engine is an edge-lit LED light engine.

12. The assembly of claim 10 , further comprising an LED power supply disposed within the interior.

13. The assembly of claim 10 , wherein the LED light engine is selectively movable between closed and open positions with respect to the interior; the open position of the LED light engine providing access to both of the first and second wireways.

14. The assembly of claim 13 , wherein an interior of each wireway is separated from the interior by only a single wireway wall.

15. The assembly of claim 13 , wherein each wireway includes its own wireway door.

16. The assembly of claim 13 , wherein the LED light engine selectively pivots between the closed and open positions.

17. The assembly of claim 13 , wherein the LED light engine is carried by a door that selectively pivots between the closed and open positions.

18. The assembly of claim 13 , further comprising a third wireway; at least one of the first and second wireways being connected to and extending from the third wireway.

19. The assembly of claim 18 , wherein the third wireway is disposed in a stacked configuration with a portion of the third wireway disposed directly between the LED light engine and the top wall of the outer perimeter wall.

20. The assembly of claim 19 , further comprising a fourth wireway; at least one of the first, second, and third wireways being connected to and extending from the fourth wireway.

21. The assembly of claim 20 , wherein the fourth wireway is disposed in a stacked configuration with a portion of the fourth wireway disposed directly between the LED light engine and the top wall of the outer perimeter wall.

22. The assembly of claim 13 , wherein the first and second wireways are disposed side-by-side.

23. An wireway and light fixture assembly comprising:

an outer perimeter wall defining an interior; the outer perimeter wall including a top wall;

an LED light engine carried by the outer perimeter wall between closed and open positions;

at least first and second wireways disposed within the interior; the first and second wireways being spaced from the top wall; each of the first and second wireways defining a passageway;

an LED power supply disposed within the interior;

wherein the passageway of each of the first and second wireways is separated from the interior by only a single wireway wall;

a third wireway; at least one of the first and second wireways being connected to and extending from the third wireway;

a fourth wireway; at least one of the first, second, and third wireways being connected to and extending from the fourth wireway; and

wherein the fourth wireway is disposed in a stacked configuration with a portion of the fourth wireway disposed directly between the LED light engine and the top wall of the outer perimeter wall.

24. The assembly of claim 23 , further comprising hangers supporting the wireways from the top wall.

25. The assembly of claim 23 , wherein the LED light engine is an edge-lit LED light engine.

26. The assembly of claim 23 , further comprising an LED power supply disposed within the interior.

27. The assembly of claim 23 , wherein the outer perimeter wall is elongated in a longitudinal direction; the first and second wireways being parallel to each other and to the light engine in the longitudinal direction.

28. The assembly of claim 23 , wherein the LED light engine and the at least first and second wireways are disposed in a stacked configuration with portions of the at least first and second wireways being disposed directly between the LED light engine and the top wall.

29. The assembly of claim 23 , wherein the LED light engine pivots with respect to the outer perimeter wall between the closed and open positions; the open position of the door providing access to the interior.
