Abstract

This disclosure includes a system and method for integrating a power system having one or more electrical receptacles, a charging system having one or more USB charging ports, and a lighting system into one component for ease of installation and use in any environment including, for example, under cabinets, above and below countertops, at workstations, desks, overhangs, or other areas. The wiring may be split at the entrance into the chassis. Continuous power may be maintained at the receptacle locations while also powering the LED lighting via a control device such as, for example, a slide dimmer, an in-line dimmer, a wall-mounted dimmer control device, a remote control, or a WiFi connectivity device. The use of an in-line GFCI device may also be incorporated into the complete system.

Claims (23)

1 . A system comprising:

a power system having one or more receptacles;

a lighting system having one or more LED lighting components;

a charging system having one or more charging ports;

the power system, the lighting system and the charging system integrated into a chassis;

wiring that is split into first wiring and second wiring;

the first wiring interfaces with the power system and the charging system; and

the second wiring interfaces with the lighting system.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the wiring that is split into the first wiring and the second wiring is at an entrance into the chassis.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein continuous power is maintained in the first wiring for the power system and the charging system.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the lighting system is controlled by a control device.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the lighting system is controlled by a control device, and wherein the control device includes at least one of a slide dimmer or a wall switch.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the lighting system is electrically controlled independently of the power system.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the lighting system is configured to light a workspace area.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the charging system includes at least one of a USB charging port or a lightening charging port.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the power system includes the charging system.

10 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a GFCI receptacle integrated into the chassis.

11 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a 5-pin connector system at one or more ends of the chassis, wherein the 5-pin connector system interfaces the power supply with the power system.

12 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a 5-pin connector system at one or more ends of the chassis, wherein the 5-pin connector system is configured to interface with an additional chassis.

13 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a 5-pin connector system at one or more ends of the chassis, wherein the 5-pin connector system is configured to interface with a junction box.

14 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a wifi enabled driver module for the lighting system.

15 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the lighting system is at least one of low voltage or line voltage.

16 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a diffuser over at least a portion of the lighting system.
