Abstract
Methods, apparatus and systems for facilitating installation and/or replacement of linear lighting assemblies with linear light-emitting diode (LED) luminaires. In an embodiment, a system for installing a linear LED luminaire includes a suspension bracket having a connection feature for connection to a connection point, and an attachment portion for accepting a first distal end of a first linear LED luminaire. The system also includes a connecting bridge that includes a bridge housing, at least one aperture formed in the bridge housing, and at least one locking tab. The connecting bridge attaches to a second distal end of the first linear LED luminaire and enables secure mechanical and electrical connection between the first linear LED luminaire and a second LED luminaire.
