A linear fixture for suspension from an overhead structure has a light
weight and has electrical connectors capable of making easy plug
electrical connections for power and network connection communications.
The linear fixture is an elongated housing having a bottom wall, an
elongated housing top wall and an elongated slot extending longitudinally
along the elongated housing top wall. The housing is manufactured from an
extrusion of aluminum thereby reducing the weight of the housing. The
housing includes two or more housing supports having bottom and top
surface portions respectively, conforming in shape to the housing bottom
top walls. The bottom of top portions of the supports are adapted to
engage or slide fit into the bottom and top walls so as to mate with the
walls and provide support to the elongated housing bottom and top walls.
The housing supports act to provide additional structural support for the
top and bottom walls of the linear housing. The housing supports maintain
the housing bottom and top walls in fixed relationship from each other.
The housing supports are further adapted to be suspended from the
overhead structure so as to support through the housing supports the
elongated linear housing from the overhead structure. Preferably, the
housing support comprises a one-piece plastic material, which reduces the
weight of the fixture. The housing supports are adapted to receiving in
mating relation an electrical plug whose terminals face outwardly for
quick electrical connection with adjoining fixtures or a power source.
