Specification

DESC:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to lighting devices and more particularly, relates to a mounting assembly for fixing a lighting device to a suspended structure.

BACKGROUND

Generally, a lighting device is defined as a means to provide light to achieve practical use and create an aesthetic effect. The lighting device is used everywhere, for example, in homes, in corporate buildings, as streetlights, etc. Typically, the lighting device accounts for approximately 45% of total power used in the house or the office premises. Hence, many technological developments have occurred to reduce power consumption by the lighting device. For instance, conventional lamps have been replaced by LED lamps which consume less power and are now available at an affordable rate in the market. Further, in this regard, there are different types of LED-based lighting devices that are available in the market, for example, an edge-lit panel light and a back-lit panel light. The back-lit panel light is defined as an array of LEDs placed on a plate horizontally to illuminate a lower space of the back-lit panel light, through a diffuser. Further, the edge-lit panel light is defined as a configuration where a row of LEDs is placed on a frame of a panel of the edge-lit panel light.

Conventionally, the LED based lighting device (referred to as a lighting device) is suspended/fixed to different structures, for instance, a suspended structure. The suspended structure is preferred as the suspended structure optimally flushes with the lighting device and thus, increases the aesthetics of the lighting device. Further, to fix the lighting device in the suspended structure, a user may have to make a slot in the suspended structure and then fix the lighting device. However, the lighting device, mostly, is not fixed safely to the suspended structure as the suspended structure is not compatible with to sustaining weight of the lighting device. Thus, this configuration may damage the lighting device, and the structure of the suspended structure. As such, this configuration may increase safety concerns for the user. Hence, there is a challenge to fix the lighting device in the suspended structure.

In this regard, many technical solutions have been developed to fix the lighting device to the suspended structure. For instance, in a known art, a lighting device with a spring mechanism is disclosed. The lighting device is fixed to the suspended structure through a plurality of springs. However, this configuration is only suitable for a small lighting device having reduced weight.

In another known art, a lighting device disposed on a suspended structure, and then supported by a frame, is disclosed. However, this configuration has a limitation that an operator may have to disassemble the frame to access the lighting device. In that case, there is a possibility that the lighting device may get damaged, or lighting efficiency of the lighting device may get hampered.

In yet another known art, a lighting device attached to a suspended structure having a grid shaped profile is disclosed. However, this configuration as disclosed has a complex and bulky structure.

Thus, it is desirable to provide a mounting mechanism for fixing an LED-based lighting device, having different dimensional characteristics, in a suspended structure while overcoming the aforementioned problems in the conventional configuration.
