Claims31
A modular lighting panel comprising a quadrilateral panel housing having four side walls and a lighting substrate on the front of the panel housing, the lighting substrate having an array of holes at spaced intervals and holding means arranged at the holes on an inside of the panel housing such that interconnected lights are each securely but removably held in the holding means to shine light through the holes, and the side walls each being profiled with an interlocking mechanism to directly join the panel housing to other panel housings of modular lighting panels to form a larger lighting display structure.
A modular lighting panel assembly comprising a lighting substrate having an array of holes arranged at spaced intervals, conductor strips positioned against the rear of the substrate aligned with the array of holes, the conductor strips being adapted to be arranged to be connected to a power source and a plurality of lights arranged to be selectively inserted into the holes to engage the conductor strips to supply power to the lights whereby selective arrangements of the lights in respective holes can form different patterns of light.
A modular lighting panel assembly comprising a plurality of interconnected lights, a quadrilateral panel housing having four side walls and a lighting substrate on the front of the panel housing, the lighting substrate having an array of holes arranged at spaced intervals and holding means arranged at the holes on an inside of the panel housing for holding lights of said plurality of interconnected lights such that the lights of the plurality of lights are each securely but removably held in the holding means to shine light through the holes, the number of holding means being greater than the number of lights held by the holding means so that the lights can be selectively arranged with respect to the holes to form different patterns of lights, and the side walls each having integrally provided thereon an interlocking mechanism to directly join the panel housing to other panel housing of modular lighting panels to form a larger lighting display structure.
