The invention relates to a connection system for establishing a detachable electrically conductive connection, including a female connector and a male connector compatible therewith. The female connector includes a socket with annular concentric contact openings and contact elements arranged within the contact openings. The male connector includes a plug with contact elements which can be inserted into the contact openings of the socket. Ferromagnetic elements are arranged concentrically around the socket or the plug, the ferromagnetic elements of the male connector and of the female connector having mutual attraction in order to generate a retaining force between the two connectors.

A mounting bracket for a lighting system includes a body portion having an elongated shape and defining a top side and a bottom side opposing the top side. The body portion defines, within the bottom side, a plurality of channels spaced apart along an axial direction of the elongated shape, wherein one or more channels of the plurality of channels is configured to receive a mounting portion of a linear light fixture of the lighting system. The body portion further defines, within the top side, a plurality of holes spaced apart along the axial direction corresponding to the plurality of channels, wherein one or more holes of the plurality of holes extends into a corresponding channel of the plurality of channels and is configured to receive a fastening structure therethrough.

A light emitting apparatus includes a light source, a unitary formed heat sink with a plurality of heat dissipating fins, a lensed enclosure that retains a light source and at least one power consuming device other than the light source. The lensed enclosure includes a recessed opening having at least a first wall that terminates at a substantially perpendicular second wall. The plurality of heat dissipating fins are disposed on at least one adjacent exterior side of the walled enclosure, the fins extending outwardly. At least one fin coupled to the heat sink extends beyond the light source, and the heat generated by the light source travels by conduction laterally through the heat sink to the at least one coupled fin.

A modular lighting system adapted to be installed in and illuminate an environment. The lighting system includes a first light fixture including a first canopy assembly adapted to engage a desired surface in the environment, a first light-emitting diode (LED) module, and a second LED module. The first LED module has a first connector assembly configured to mechanically and electrically connect the first LED module to the first light fixture via the first canopy assembly, the second connector assembly is configured to mechanically and electrically connect the second LED module to the first LED module, and the first LED module is interchangeable with a third LED module including a third connector assembly configured to mechanically and electrically connect the third LED module to both the second LED module and the first light fixture via the first canopy assembly.

Light fixture installation adapters and methods thereof are disclosed. According to an aspect, a light fixture installation adapter includes a first bracket configured to be attached to a light fixture. The adapter also includes a second bracket configured to be attached to an electrical junction box. Further, the adapter includes a mounting assembly that has a first component and a second component attached to the first bracket and the second bracket, respectively. The first component is configured to engage with and to attach to the second component when the first component is oriented in a predetermined position with respect to the second component and when the first component is moved in one or more predetermined directions with respect to the second component for attaching the first bracket to the second bracket via the mounting assembly.
