Patent attributes
The present invention pertains to a modular temporary lighting assembly and multi-outlet stringer that is particularly suited for building construction settings. The modular lighting assembly is formed by connecting a plurality of like-shaped stringers and a plurality of like-shaped multi-outlet receptacles. The assembly is formed by several sections, with each section including one stringer and one receptacle. Each stringer has a three-prong twist-lock plug at one end, and a three-port twist-lock outlet at the other. Each receptacle has a light socket, one male twist-lock plug, three female twist-lock outlets, and a mounting hook. The socket receives a light bulb and a removable protection cage. The receptacles are hung along the ceiling of the building and electrically connected by the stringers. The sections of the lighting assembly are connected in a single linear routing or a multi-branch pattern throughout the desired areas of the building. Each receptacle has a supply stringer that supplies it with electric power, and two or more feed stringers that supply power to other receptacles.
