Claims
- 1. A low voltage busbar lighting apparatus comprising:
- a busbar, said busbar including an insulative support, an adhesive film formed along the base of said insulative support, a first and a second longitudinal steel strip being mounted one across from the other on the top surface of said insulative support, and said insulative support having a central longitudinal cavity interposed between said first and second steel strips;
- a lamp base for mounting on said busbar, said lamp base including a base plate, a first permanent magnet secured to said base plate for engagement with said first steel strip of said busbar, a second permanent magnet secured to said base plate for engagement with said second steel strip of said busbar, a means for electrically connecting a lamp to said first and second steel strips of said busbar, and a central block secured to said base plate between said first and second permanent magnets and adapted to fit within the central longitudinal cavity of said insulative support of said busbar;
- wherein said busbar attaches to a building structure by said adhesive film; and
- wherein said lamp base is secured to said busbar by the magnetic force developed between said first and second permanent magnets and said first and second steel strips.
- 2. A busbar for a low voltage lighting apparatus comprising:
- an insulating support having a central longitudinal cavity in a top surface thereof:
- an adhesive film formed along a base of said insulating support;
- a first and a second steel strip mounted one across from the other on the top surface of said insulative support, the central longitudinal cavity of said insulative support being interposed between said first and second steel strips;
- wherein said busbar attaches to a building structure by said adhesive film; and
- wherein said low voltage lighting apparatus electrically connects to said first and second steel strips by a first magnet and a second magnet.
- 3. A low voltage busbar according to claim 2 wherein said first and second steel strips are bonded to the surface of said insulating support.
