Modular system
A modular system may include a plurality of magnets that may be provided to self-align a casing with an accessory. Self-alignment of the casing and the accessory may provide a secure connection of the casing with the accessory. At least one detent and at least one locking arm may mate and lock the casing against the accessory in a mounted position. The at least one detent and the at least one locking arm may unlock in an insertion position. Self-alignment may occur when a first set of magnets attracts a second set of magnets in which opposite polarities attract and automatically initiate movement of the casing towards the accessory.
1. A modular lighting system, comprising:
a light casing including a protrusion arranged on an attachment face of the light casing;
at least one detent provided on the protrusion;
an accessory including an aperture configured to receive the protrusion, wherein the accessory is removable and interchangeable with one or more different accessories to convert the modular lighting system from a flashlight to another structure selected from the following: a bike light, a lantern, a head lamp, and an arm;
at least one light-emitting diode (LED) enclosed inside the modular lighting system, wherein the light casing is operable without being connected to the accessory; and
at least one first attachment mechanism arranged in the light casing and at least one second attachment mechanism arranged in the accessory, the at least one first attachment mechanism configured to align with the at least one second attachment mechanism and secure the light casing against the accessory, wherein the modular lighting system operates without being attached to the accessory.
2. The modular lighting system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first attachment mechanism is at least one first magnet, and wherein the at least one second attachment mechanism is at least one second magnet.
3. The modular lighting system of claim 1 , wherein the light casing is attachable and detachable from the accessory.
4. The modular lighting system of claim 1 , further comprising:
at least one button provided in the light casing to control brightness, intensity, light color, strobe lighting, and additional modes of the modular lighting system.
