RAIL FOR A RAIL LIGHTING SYSTEM AND LIGHTING ARRANGEMENT

Abstract

Operating a lighting arrangement (100) with a track (1) and an interior space (3) in which a conductor arrangement (7) with conductors (11-15, 21-25) is provided, a first adapter (30, 30', 30") and an electrically coupled device (40, 50, 60) to this adapter as a lighting device (40, 50, 60) for implementing a lighting function as the primary function, and a second adapter (70a-d, 70) and an electrically coupled device (80) to this adapter for providing at least one secondary function. In the depth direction (T) of the interior space (3), along which the first and second adapters (30, 30', 30", 70a-d, 70) are inserted from an outwardly open side (8) of the interior space (3), conductors (12-14, 22-24) of a first group (27) are located between conductors (11, 21) a second group (28) and leaders (15, 25) of a third group (29).Providing operating current at mains voltage and control signal through conductors encompassed by the conductors (12-14, 22-24) of the first group (27), and contacting conductors (12-14, 22-24) from the first group (27) through the first adapter (30, 30', 30") and thereby tapping operating current and control signal for the lighting device (40, 50, 60); contacting at least conductors (11, 21, 15, 25) from the second or third group (28, 29) through the second adapter (70a-d, 70) and thereby tapping an operating current for the auxiliary function.
