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 (36)

1. A wireway and light fixture assembly comprising:

an outer perimeter wall defining an assembly interior; the outer perimeter wall including a top wall, a left sidewall, and a right sidewall;

an LED light engine;

first and second wireways disposed within the assembly interior; the first wireway being connected to the left sidewall; the second wireway being connected to the right sidewall;

the first wireway being spaced apart from the second wireway;

the LED light engine and the first and second wireways being disposed with portions of each of the first and second wireways being disposed between the LED light engine and the top wall; and

wherein the first wireway has at least one wireway wall and a first wireway door openable into the assembly interior and the second wireway has at least one wireway wall and a second wireway door openable into the assembly interior.

2. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first and second wireways are spaced from the top wall by portions of the assembly interior.

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

4. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first wireway door is independent of the second wireway door such that the first wireway door is accessible without opening the second wireway door and the second wireway door is accessible without opening the first wireway door.

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

6. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a third wireway connected to the left sidewall; the third wireway being disposed outside the assembly interior.

7. The assembly of claim 6 , further comprising a fourth wireway connected to the right sidewall; the fourth wireway being disposed outside the assembly interior.

8. The assembly of claim 7 , wherein the third wireway has at least one wireway wall and a wireway door openable from the side of the assembly and the fourth wireway has at least one wireway wall and a wireway door openable from the side of the assembly.

9. A wireway and light fixture assembly comprising:

an outer perimeter wall defining an assembly interior; the outer perimeter wall including a top wall, a left sidewall, and a right sidewall;

an LED light engine;

first and second wireways disposed within the assembly interior; the first wireway being connected to the left sidewall; the second wireway being connected to the right sidewall;

the first wireway being spaced apart from the second wireway;

the LED light engine and the first and second wireways being disposed with portions of each of the first and second wireways being disposed between the LED light engine and the top wall; and

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

10. The assembly of claim 9 , wherein the LED light engine is an edge-lit LED light engine.

11. The assembly of claim 9 , further comprising first and second wireway doors and wherein, when the LED light engine is in the open position, the first wireway door is accessible without opening the second wireway door and the second wireway door is accessible without opening the first wireway door.

12. The assembly of claim 9 , further comprising an LED power supply disposed within the assembly interior.

13. The assembly of claim 9 , further comprising a third wireway connected to the left sidewall; the third wireway being disposed outside the assembly interior.

14. The assembly of claim 13 , further comprising a fourth wireway connected to the right sidewall; the fourth wireway being disposed outside the assembly interior.

15. The assembly of claim 14 , wherein the third wireway has at least one wireway wall and a wireway door openable from the side of the assembly and the fourth wireway has at least one wireway wall and a wireway door openable from the side of the assembly.

16. A wireway and light fixture assembly comprising:

an outer perimeter wall defining an assembly interior; the outer perimeter wall including a top wall, a left sidewall, and a right sidewall;

an LED light engine;

first and second wireways disposed within the assembly interior; the first wireway being connected to the left sidewall; the second wireway being connected to the right sidewall;

the first wireway being spaced apart from the second wireway;

the LED light engine and the first and second wireways being disposed with portions of each of the first and second wireways being disposed between the LED light engine and the top wall; and

wherein the first and second wireways are spaced from the top wall by portions of the assembly interior.

17. The assembly of claim 16 , further comprising a third wireway connected to the left sidewall; the third wireway being disposed outside the assembly interior.

18. The assembly of claim 17 , further comprising a fourth wireway connected to the right sidewall; the fourth wireway being disposed outside the assembly interior.
