Non-mechanical means for connector polarization for a lighting system

A lighting system comprising:

• a lighting module further comprising:
• a substrate;
• a light source disposed on the substrate;
• a first connector adapted to provide electrical communication with a source of electrical energy;
• a conductive path including a supply path and a plurality of return paths, the conductive path providing electrical communication between the light source and the connector;
• and
• a diode disposed in at least one of the return paths, wherein the diode militates against a current flowing in an undesirable direction;
• and
• a controller having a second connector adapted to provide electrical communication with the lighting module.

A lighting system comprising:

• a first lighting module including a substrate, a light source disposed on the substrate, a first connector adapted to provide electrical communication with a second lighting module, a conductive path including a supply path and a plurality of return paths, the conductive path providing electrical communication between the light source and the connector, and a diode disposed in at least one of the return paths, wherein the diode militates against a current flowing in an undesirable direction;
• a second lighting module including a substrate, a light source disposed on the substrate, a second connector adapted to provide electrical communication with the first connector of the first lighting module, a third connector adapted to provide electrical communication with a controller, a plurality of conductive paths including a supply path and a plurality of return paths, the conductive paths providing electrical communication between the light source and the second and third connectors;
• and
• a controller having a fourth connector adapted to provide electrical communication with the third connector of the second lighting module;
