Abstract: A tape light termination system includes a terminal in a housing. The terminal includes an electrically conducting contact area and a termination lug to fixedly connect an electric conductor with the terminal and provide an electrically conducting path between the termination lug and the contact point. The housing includes compartments sized to receive and hold the terminal, and slots which are positioned and dimensioned to receive opposing edges of a light emitting diode (LED) tape light. The LED tape light includes a flexible strip having LED diode circuitry and an electrically conductive pad on the planar surface. Each of the slots provide access in the housing to the electrically conductive contact area and alignment of the electrically conducting contact area of the terminal to contiguously contact the electrically conductive pad and enable a current flow path therebetween.

Abstract: A rotatable shelf illumination system may include a rotatable shelf having a groove in which one or more light sources may be mounted. A refractive lens may be mounted in the groove covering the one or more light sources. The rotatable shelf may be, for example, a lazy susan. A removeable and rechargeable power supply may be controlled by a controller circuitry to selectively energize the one or more light sources when rotation of the rotatable shelf is detected. A magnetic field sensor may be used with the controller circuitry to detect rotational movement of the rotatable shelf. The controller circuitry may implement energy conservation measures to prolong the charge of the rechargeable power supply.

Abstract: A panel lighting system includes a translucent panel formed to include a channel in a boundary wall of the translucent panel. A flexible circuit board may be mounted on the boundary wall such that LEDs mounted sequentially on the flexible circuit board extend into the channel. The LEDs may be fixedly maintained in the channel by the flexible circuit board being adhesively coupled with the boundary wall adjacent the channel. The system may also include an edge connector coupled to the boundary wall. The edge connector may be a corner edge connector or a side edge connector configured to fixedly hold a coupler that couples and provides strain relief for a cable.

Abstract: A light switch includes an outer housing formed with a plurality of intersecting walls to define a recess and including a first ferromagnetic material. The outer housing is configured to be coupled with an external structure by a plurality of mounting brackets integrally formed as part of the outer housing and extending outwardly therefrom. The light switch also includes an inner housing. The inter housing includes a user controllable switch mechanism and a second ferromagnetic material. At least one of the first ferromagnetic material and the second ferromagnetic material comprises a permanent magnet, and the inner housing is sized to be received and removably maintained in the recess formed in the outer housing by magnetic attraction between the first ferromagnetic material and the second ferromagnetic material.
