Light fixture
First Claim
1. A light fixture comprising:
- a lens component connected to a base component;
wherein a plurality of light sources are mounted to and contained within the lens component;
the plurality of light sources are strung together by a plurality of wire assemblies;
each light source having a first end with a first polarity and a first connector, a second end with a second polarity and a second connector;
the first connector having a polarity-dependent geometry corresponding to the first polarity and the second connector having a polarity dependent geometry corresponding to the second polarity; and
, each wire assembly having a first end connectable to the polarity-dependent geometry of the first connector of one of the light sources and a second end connectable to the polarity-dependent geometry of the second connector of another light source.

Abstract
The present invention generally relates to a lighting fixture where individual light sources can be removed and/or replaced from a strand of light sources. The preferred embodiment of the light fixture comprises a plurality of light sources strung together by a plurality of wire assemblies. Each light source preferably has one end of a tongue and groove connector where the opposing end of the connector is attached to an end of a wire assembly. The strand of light sources is then placed within a lens component, preferably an extrusion. The lens component is connected to a base component; wherein the plurality of light sources are mounted to the base component and contained within the lens component. The fixture can be mounted to, inter alia, a wall, a chair, or a railing in an area to be lit by the fixture.
