Abstract
Apparatus, systems and methods for providing light. The apparatus may include an LED disposed on a PCB. The PCB may be disposed in a housing. The apparatus may include a cord that has a first end that is electrically terminated in a base and a second end that is electrically terminated in the housing. The housing may engage the cord at a location along the cord between the first end and the second end to suspend the housing at a location. The housing may include a bolt. The bolt may house a gripper. The gripper may grip the cord at the location and relax in response to passage of the cord into the housing. The housing may include a shelf defining a clearance hole for the bolt. The housing may store a slack length of the cord below the shelf and above the PCB.
