Abstract
There is disclosed a linear fixture layout where one or more linear fixtures extending along different longitudinal axes are offset from each other by a predetermined angle. The fixtures each have end portions, which are positioned adjacent to and spaced from each other. The fixtures each have end caps mounted to the end portions of the linear fixtures and connected to each other by an interconnecting member so as to present a continuous fixture layout. The end caps have a slot in a side portion thereof and the interconnecting member has two legs spread apart from each other at the predetermined angle. Each of the legs is adapted to be mounted in sliding relation into a corresponding end cap slot to fixedly locate the end caps together and present continuous fixture layout appearance.
