Abstract
A coupling mechanism for a lighting apparatus (and a lighting apparatus having a housing, a mount and the coupling mechanism for coupling the lighting apparatus to the housing) has a first coupling member comprising a curved strip and a second coupling member comprising a retaining element for magnet coupling with the curved strip at multiple positions along its length whereby the first coupling member may be adjustably orientated about at least one axis relative to the second coupling member. The lighting system having the coupling mechanism is thus a multi-direction lighting system which may be directed over a wide illumination area and which is simple and easy to assemble and adjust.
Claims24
A coupling mechanism for a lighting apparatus, the coupling mechanism comprising:
- a first coupling member comprising a curved strip;
- and
- a second coupling member comprising a retaining element for coupling with the curved strip;
- wherein the second coupling member may couple with the first coupling member at multiple positions along a length of the curved strip and wherein the first and second coupling members are configured for magnetic coupling,
- whereby the first coupling member and the second coupling member may be adjustably orientated relative to one another about at least one axis,
- wherein the first coupling member is attached to or associated with or configured for attachment to a housing for a lighting apparatus and the second coupling member is attached to or associated with or configured for attachment to a lighting mount.
A lighting apparatus comprising:
- a housing for housing a light source and/or directing a beam of light from a light source;
- a lighting mount for securing the lighting apparatus to a support or substrate;
- and
- a coupling mechanism comprising:
- a first coupling member comprising a curved strip;
- and
- a second coupling member comprising a retaining element for coupling with the curved strip;
- wherein the second coupling member may couple with the first coupling member at multiple positions along a length of the curved strip and wherein the first and second coupling members are configured for magnetic coupling,
- whereby the first coupling member and the second coupling member may be adjustably orientated relative to one another about at least one axis,
- wherein the first coupling member is attached to the housing and the second coupling member is attached to the lighting mount.
