As the slide plate 20 moves to the position C2, the top of the instrument body 13 is opened, and the power supply wiring 17 drawn from the ceiling surface is electrically connected to the terminal block 14 of the instrument body 13 that has been opened.

  Then, the first end cap 18 is fixed to the non-connection side end of the instrument main body 13 with a screw 24. The feed wiring 15 is drawn out through the instrument body 13 through the lead-out opening 30 of the connector 21 to the counterpart instrument body 71 side.

  Next, a 4th connection process (refer FIG.6, FIG.7, FIG.8) is performed. In the fourth connecting step, the sliding plate 20 is slid again in the first direction A to the position C3. As the sliding plate 20 slides to the position C3, the connector positioning holes 27 are engaged with the engaging protrusions 31 of the connector 21, respectively, and are positioned at the position C3.

  The power supply wiring 17 is disposed in the wiring insertion hole 26 of the sliding plate 20. At this time, the wood screws 33 are respectively screwed into the first end cap 18 and the connector 21 from below the both ends of the instrument body 13.

  As shown in FIG. 9, a fifth connecting step is subsequently performed. In the fifth connection step, the counterpart instrument body 71 is connected to the connection side end of the instrument body 13.

  In connection, the counterpart lighting fixture 70 slides the sliding plate 72 in the first direction A to the position D1 and pulls out the counterpart receiving wiring 75 having the fixed plate 74, which is drawn from the counterpart terminal block 73. It is pulled out above the counterpart device body 71. The mating sliding plate 72 has the second end cap 19 fixed to the non-connecting end.

  In the instrument body 13, the connector 21 assembled at the connection side end is inserted into the counterpart instrument body 71, and the other instrument body fixing plate 29 of the connector 21 is screwed to the partition plate 76 of the counterpart instrument body 71. To fix. At this time, the screw 34 also fixes the fixing plate 74 of the mating receiving wiring 75 at the same time.
