Abstract: A light fitting is provided with a first connector piece arranged to support a light and provide power thereto, an input connected to a power source and arranged to provide power permanently to an output comprising a primary coil, and a transmitter operable to transmit a switch signal. A light is provided comprising a sealed light housing, a light source, a back-up battery, a controller and a second connector piece having a secondary coil and a receiver. The receiver receives the switch signal and the controller controls power delivery to the light source in response to the switch signal received by the receiver thereby to turn the light on and off. The light fitting and the light are arranged to present the primary coil and the secondary coil for inductive coupling therebetween and to present the transmitter and the receiver for wireless communication therebetween.

Abstract: A lighting system includes a plurality of modular components, comprising elongate strips of different finite lengths having elongate lighting circuits therein and connector means for connecting adjacent strips end to end and electrically connecting the lighting circuits thereon to enable a voltage to be applied across a series of illuminating devices provided at predetermined spaced locations along the length of the strips so connected. The illuminating devices on each strip are connected in series and the series connected illuminating devices associated with each strip are connected in parallel with the series connected illuminating devices associated with each of the other strips. The series connection of the illuminating devices associated with the respective strips are balanced so that they are voltage compatible with one another. In some embodiments a plurality of series connected illuminating devices are provided on each strip.

Abstract: A lighting system includes a plurality of modular components, each comprising an elongate strip of finite length, supporting or constituting an elongate lighting circuit extending along the strip and connector means for connecting adjacent strips end to end, and electrically connecting the lighting circuits thereon to enable a voltage to be applied across a series of illuminating devices provided at predetermined spaced locations along the length of the strips so connected. Preferably, the illuminating devices on each strip are connected in series, and the series connected illuminating devices associated with each strip are connected in parallel with the series connected illuminating devices associated with each of the other strips.
