1. A connector assembly comprising:
a housing 201 that defines an internal cavity that is configured to house one or more electronic components therein;
a plurality of flat surfaces 312 or a continuous track 2104 disposed radially around the inner wall forming a plurality of connection points in the housing 201 to couple luminaires 1100 thereto such that the luminaires extend radially outward from the housing and at least two of the luminaires 1100 define a non-perpendicular and non-zero angle therebetween, and
wherein at least one of the linear luminaires includes,
a lightguide assembly that includes a lightguide that is retained between two side rails and lightguide brackets that are coupled to the two side rails and disposed at each lateral end of the lightguide assembly, each of the lightguide brackets comprising a pair of hinge arms and a first coupling aperture;
a channel assembly that includes an electrical channel that is configured to house one or more electrical components therein and channel brackets that are coupled to and disposed at each lateral end of the channel assembly, each channel bracket comprising a pair of hook arms and a second coupling aperture.
