Abstract
The disclosure relates to methods for connecting encapsulated linear lighting to power, including the use of through-hole mounting into flexible encapsulated linear lighting, and the creation of overmolds to protect electrical connections. The disclosure also relates to linear luminaires having channels that accommodate overmolds and allow electrical cables to exit the encapsulated linear lighting in desired, and controllable, directions.
