Modular Lighting System

摘要

A modular lighting system includes a set of interconnected reconfigurable illuminating modules and corresponding intermediate connectors. Each illuminating module includes a light source and at least one connecting area. Each connecting area includes an illuminating module coupling assembly having at least one ferromagnetic member and having electrically conductive members electrically coupled to the light source. Each intermediate connector has a plurality of intermediate connector coupling assemblies electrically coupled to one another. Each intermediate connector coupling assembly includes a ferromagnetic component that is configured to be magnetically coupled with the ferromagnetic member so that one intermediate connector coupling assembly is electrically coupled to one illuminating module coupling assembly, and the two coupling assemblies are held in electrical contact with one another by magnetic force.
