First Claim
1. A electronic charging system, the system comprising, comprising:
- a charging apparatus;
a battery unit;
wherein the battery unit comprises a connection apparatus connecting the battery unit to the charging apparatus when charging the battery unit;
wherein the charging apparatus comprises a head member selectively engaged with the battery unit electrically connecting the battery unit to the battery charging apparatus during charging of the battery unit and disconnecting the battery unit from the battery charging apparatus when not charging the battery unit;
wherein the battery unit comprises a unit housing, the unit housing comprising spaced apart curved fingers which selectively receive the head member of the charging apparatus and bias electrical contacts of the head member of the charging apparatus into engagement with electrical contacts on the battery unit electrically connecting the battery unit to the battery charging apparatus during charging of the battery unit;
wherein the charging apparatus comprises a pole or rod coupled to the head member of the charging apparatus; and
a power control circuit coupled to the battery unit, the power control circuit configured to provide electrical current from the battery unit to an electrical load.

Abstract
A wall or ceiling mountable lighting device comprises a self-contained single or multiple LED light source for emitting warm yellow-white light corresponding to halogen or incandescent light and a control circuit controlled by a remote control unit to energize and deenergize the light source and control light intensity. A rechargeable battery power source mounted on the lighting device is connectable to the apparatus for charging the battery without removing the battery from the device. The apparatus includes an elongated probe assembly releasably connectable to the lighting device to perform the recharging process. The lighting device is particularly adapted for ease of placement of a light source for decorative purposes and/or illuminating artifacts in locations which would require substantial structural modifications to install conventional lighting.
