Abstract
A method and system for providing an array of illumination modules is disclosed. A modular illumination system can comprise a one-dimensional array, a two-dimensional array, or other shapes and arrangements of the illumination modules. Adjacent illumination modules in the array can be attached to one another via a system of connectors. Each illumination module can comprise at least two connectors, one feeding electricity to a neighboring illumination module and one receiving electricity from a power source. The power source can comprise another neighboring illumination module or a power supply circuit that feeds the array of illumination modules or a subset of illumination modules in the array. Each illumination module can comprise a circuit board, at least one LED, and an optical system that manages light.
