Modular lighting with blocks
First Claim
1. A modular lighting fixture comprising:
- at least one housing having at least three sides connected to each other at a plurality of edges to form a polygon;
the housing having a front surface and a rear surface for defining a volume in the housing;
at least one electrically powered light source in the volume;
a separate connector in each of at least two of said sides for pivotally connecting each side of the housing having a connector, to a side of another housing having a connector, wherein said pivotally connected housings are offset with respect to each other; and
each connector being located by an equal amount away from a center position between the edges of the sides containing a respective connector.

Abstract
A modular light assembly is provided. The light assembly includes a light housing with sides, an electrical light source inside the housing and connected to a connector on at least one side of the housing, and a pin for pivotally, electrically and detachably connecting the side with the connector to a side of another housing having the connector. The connector includes a quarter turn receptacle set into a dielectric medium, which is surrounded by a conductive metal ring. The electrical light source may be a plurality of LED lamps connected to a printed circuit board, which is connected to the connector. The light assembly may also be connected to other electrical and non-electrical devices having a connector.
