Patent attributes
A linear luminaire includes a channel with a bottom and sidewalls that arise from opposite sides of the bottom. The channel has an upper compartment and a lower compartment, the sidewalls being of a shape and extent such that at opposite ends of the channel, the upper compartment overhangs the lower compartment in a longitudinal direction. An elongate, rigid printed circuit board (PCB) is mounted in the upper compartment of the channel, aligned along the longitudinal direction, the PCB extending to each of the opposite ends of the channel in the upper compartment and having one or more LED light engines mounted thereon. The PCB may be mounted on stand-offs, such that it is above the bottom of the channel and defines the boundary between the upper and lower compartments. The overhung upper compartment creates a cableway space when two linear luminaires are abutted end-to-end or are adjacent.
