Abstract
A lighting system is provided that includes at least one lighting device, at least one connector, and a plurality of external power sources. The lighting device includes at least one lighting source, and an internal power source supplying a first electrical current to illuminate the lighting source. The connector electrically connects to the lighting device. The external power sources include at least first and second external power sources that are adapted to be electrically connected to the lighting device by the connector. The first external power source supplies a second electrical current to the lighting device to illuminate the lighting source and the second external power source supplies a third electrical current to illuminate the lighting source, such that the internal power source and one of the plurality of external power sources each supply electrical current to illuminate the lighting source at different times.
