Rotating hanging light connector

Abstract

A lighting system having a light element, a first connector, a second connector and an electrically coupled power source is described. The light element has a light source, a surface for emitting light. The first connector is fixed to an end of the light element and includes a cylindrical housing defining a cylindrical cavity, the cylindrical cavity having a plug positioned therein, the plug being electrically coupled to the light source within the light element, while the second connector couples to the first connector and has an outer housing and a cylindrical cavity defined therein. The first cylindrical housing is configured to frictionally engage an inner wall of the second cylindrical cavity when connected. A second plug positioned within the second cylindrical cavity has a third cylindrical cavity defined therein, wherein the second plug is configured to frictionally engage an inner wall of the cylindrical cavity and the plug is configured to frictionally engage an inner wall within the third cylindrical cavity. The power source is electrically coupled to the plug through connection with the second plug to power the light source. The first connector is capable of being rotated when coupled to the second connector, preferably a full 360 degrees.
