Abstract
A connector system that is configured for deployment in a cramped space, e.g., a shallow overhead plenum. The connector system includes a conduit connector that is configured to connect to a light module to provide electrical power to the light module. The conduit connector includes a housing assembly that receives and retains an electrical wire carrying conduit on one end and houses one or more wire connectors on an opposite end. In particular, the one or more wire connectors are disposed vertically in the housing assembly such that a portion of the one or more wire connectors projects out from underneath the housing assembly and forms a substantially right angle with the housing assembly and/or the conduit. Further, the connector system includes a locking clip that is coupled to the light module. The locking clip connects the conduit connector to the light module without the use of a tool.
