Rechargeable luminaire module and cordless light fixture that accommodates the same

A light assembly configured for use with a cordless light fixture, comprising:

• a rechargeable luminaire, comprising:
• a housing;
• a diffuser configured to diffuse light in a predetermined manner;
• and
• a dimmer;
• wherein the diffuser is coupled to the housing and the dimmer to form an enclosed stand-alone assembly,
• a battery disposed within the enclosed stand-alone assembly;
• a light source powered by the battery and disposed within the enclosed stand-alone assembly;
• and
• a heat sink disposed within the enclosed stand-alone assembly and adjacent to the battery and the heat sink to dissipate heat generated by the light source and the battery, wherein the heat sink is a hollow cylinder that extends from a first end to a second end,
• wherein the light source extends at least partially between the first end of the heat sink and the second end of the heat sink,
• wherein the dimmer reconfigures the enclosed stand-alone assembly between a plurality of lighting states having different lighting levels, and
• wherein the battery is at least partially disposed within the light source;
• and
• a magnetic holder adapted to be coupled to the cordless light fixture, wherein the magnetic holder is configured to be magnetically coupled to the housing to releasably couple the rechargeable luminaire to the magnetic holder, and wherein the magnetic holder comprises a receptacle sized to receive and retain a portion of the rechargeable luminaire therein.
