Patent attributes
The present invention relates generally to lighting systems, and more particularly to a freely adjustable, exchangeable and configurable lighting system that can be reconfigured, mounted and positioned in multiple independent configurations to provide task lighting to illuminate a specific area. The present invention relates more specifically to a reconfigurable lighting system employing surface connection means, support means and adjustment means to enable a task lighting element to be mounted to any desired vertical or horizontal surface, fixture or edge thereof. The present invention also relates more specifically to a magnetically enabled coupling and adjustment means that enables a task lighting element to be positioned at a selected rotational or angular orientation by hand, yet maintain its position against the force of gravity. The present invention also relates more specifically to a magnetically enabled parallelogram positioning system that enables a task lighting element to be positioned at a selected distance, height or angular orientation by hand, yet maintain its position against the force of gravity.
