Abstract: A lighting system comprising a socket, a light fixture and a magnetic holding mechanism. The magnetic holding mechanism may be removably or integrally attached to the socket. The magnetic holding mechanism may be situated at the inner walls of the cavity created by the socket close to the socket's opening; and the light fixture comprises at least one magnetic coupler enabling to magnetically couple to the magnetic holding mechanism's coupler, once the mechanism is attached to the socket and the light fixture is inserted into the socket and couples to the magnetic holding mechanism. The socket may hold the light fixture's weight by the magnetic force attracting the couplers.
