busbar
母线 appears to mean "busbar", which is a term for "conductors that take the form of a bar or bars of copper conductor, covered or uncovered". (See first web reference below.) That might make sense in this context.
Might "zhong4" be an adjective, suggesting there is a group of these busbar in that location?
Googling "busbar" and "lighting" gives you a whole load of references, BTW.

I\'ve also found this term (I really do have to check my in-house references first!) in the 新世界汉英科技大词典(北京,1997)-- well, actually an entire two columns full of terms related to 母线. There seems little doubt that 母线 is translated most commonly as \"busbar.\"
