Abstract

A connection assembly includes an electrical cord providing electrical communication between a first light fixture and a second light fixture, and a cover removably coupled to the first light fixture and the second light fixture. The electrical cord includes a first electrical connector coupled to the first light fixture, and a second electrical connector coupled to the second light fixture. The cover extends over the electrical cord, and includes a first end adjacent the first light fixture, a second end adjacent the second light fixture, and a surface extending between the first end and the second end. The cover provides a continuous surface between the first light fixture and the second light fixture.

Claims (10)

1. A connection assembly for coupling a plurality of light fixtures, the connection assembly comprising:

an electrical cord providing electrical communication between a first light fixture and a second light fixture, the electrical cord including a first electrical connector coupled to the first light fixture, and a second electrical connector coupled to the second light fixture;

a bracket configured for coupling to the first light fixture, wherein the bracket includes a first portion configured to be coupled to the first light fixture and a second portion configured to be coupled to the first light fixture, and wherein the first electrical connector is positioned between the first portion and the second portion; and

a cover removably coupled to the first light fixture via the bracket and removably coupled to the second light fixture, the cover extending over the electrical cord, the cover including a first end adjacent the first light fixture, a second end adjacent the second light fixture, and a cover surface extending between the first end and the second end, a portion of the cover surface adjacent the first end having a profile that corresponds to a profile of a surface of the first light fixture, and a portion of the cover surface adjacent the second end having a profile that corresponds to a profile of a surface of the second light fixture, providing a continuous surface between the first light fixture and the second light fixture.

2. The connection assembly of claim 1 , wherein the bracket is configured to be coupled to the first light fixture by a first fastener, and the cover is coupled to the bracket by a second fastener.

3. The connection assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first portion of the bracket includes a first flange oriented parallel to a first portion of the cover, the first flange including a hole for receiving a fastener extending through the first portion of the cover.

4. The connection assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second portion of the bracket includes a second flange oriented parallel to a second portion of the cover, the second flange including a hole for receiving a fastener extending through the second portion of the cover.

5. The connection assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a second bracket configured for coupling to the second light fixture, wherein the second bracket includes a first portion configured to be coupled to the second light fixture and a second portion configured to be coupled to the second light fixture, and wherein the second electrical connector is positioned between the first portion and the second portion of the second bracket.

6. The connection assembly of claim 5 , wherein the second bracket is configured to be coupled to the second light fixture by a third fastener, and the cover is coupled to the second bracket by a fourth fastener.

7. The connection assembly of claim 5 , wherein the first portion of the second bracket includes a first flange oriented parallel to a third portion of the cover, the first flange of the second bracket including a hole for receiving a fastener extending through the third portion of the cover.
