Weitere Ausgestaltungen einer Leuchtenanordnung ergeben sich, wenn eine Anschlusseinrichtung aus einem Kabel mit zumindest einem elektrischen Leiter, welches aus einem Gehäuse eines Funktionselementes herausgeführt ist, besteht. Das Funktionselement ist somit an einem, vom Befestigungsort eines Leuchtengehäuses abweichenden Befestigungsort zu befestigen. Dies ist insbesondere dann besonders vorteilhaft, wenn es sich bei dem Funktionselement um einen mechanischen Türschalter handelt, der in unmittelbarer Nähe einer Schaltschranktür befestigt sein muss. Alternativ dazu kann das Funktionselement einen Bewegungsmelder oder einen photoelektrischen Schalter aufweisen, welcher beim Öffnen einer Schaltschranktür Bewegungen bzw. Helligkeitsänderungen registriert und eine Leuchte dementsprechend steuert.Further embodiments of a luminaire arrangement arise when a connection device consists of a cable with at least one electrical conductor which is led out of a housing of a functional element. The functional element is thus to be attached to a, deviating from the mounting location of a lamp housing mounting location. This is especially advantageous when the functional element is a mechanical door switch which must be fastened in the immediate vicinity of a cabinet door. Alternatively, the functional element may comprise a motion detector or a photoelectric switch which registers movements or changes in brightness when a control cabinet door is opened and controls a luminaire accordingly.
