A device for electrically connecting two modular light units respectively having free ends which include male and female double insulated connector plug means for electrically connecting the units together. The device includes an electrical cable having closed ends, male and female double insulated plug means respectively mounted on the opposite ends of the cable with the connector having a connector portion, a body portion rearward of the connector portion and being mounted on the cable end. The connector plug body includes a pair of laterally extending arms rearward of the connector portion. A removable cover is associated with each of the ends of the modular light units and at least two of the covers are associated with each of the connector plates. Those covers have removable knockout portions formed therein configured to define an opening in the cover generally complementary to the periphery of the body of the connector plug for receiving the body. The body is removably secured to its associated cover.
A connector device for electrically connecting at least two modular light units respectively having free ends including male and female double insulated electrical connector plug means mounted therein for electrically connecting said units directly together, said connector device comprising an electrical cable having opposed ends, male and female double insulated electrical connector plug means respectively mounted on the opposed ends of the cable, said connector plug means on the cable each having a connector portion, a body portion rearward of the connector portion and mounted on the cable end, and a pair of opposed laterally extending arms formed on the body portion rearward of said connector portion, a removable cover for the ends of said modular light units, including means for removably connecting the covers to the modular light units and said covers having knockout portions removably secured in the covers, said knockout portions being configured to define an opening in said cover for receiving one of the plug means on said cable, and means for removably securing the arms of the plug means to said cover.
