US Patent 9568171 Modular lighting system

A modular lighting system may include a plurality of magnets that may be provided to self-align a light pod casing with a pod accessory. Self-alignment of the light pod casing and the pod accessory may provide a secure connection of the light pod casing with the pod accessory. Self-alignment may occur when a first set of magnets attracts a second set of magnets in which opposite polarities attract and automatically initiate movement of the light pod casing towards the pod accessory.
