Abstract

An alignment system for a linear light fixture includes multiple light elements. Each light element includes a top surface that defines a top channel. Each light element includes an endcap that defines apertures that extend through an entire thickness of the endcap. A top surface of each endcap defines an endcap channel. A hanger insert is positionable between the endcaps of two light elements. The hanger insert defines additional apertures. A top surface of the hanger insert defines an insert channel and a hanger connection. The top channels, the endcap channels, and the insert channel form an elongate channel. The system includes pins that are configured to extend through the apertures of the endcaps and the hanger insert. The system includes a connector plate that is configured to be received and secured within the elongate channel. The connector plate defines a central aperture that provides access to the hanger connection.
