Modular, magnetically attachable lighting element

Abstract

Main claim: Modular, magnetically attachable luminaire element comprising a functional core (3) with at least one light source (4) and a power source (5) as well as a front module (1) detachably connected to the functional core, characterized in that the luminaire element has a magnetic coupling for attachment to a carrier material (9), wherein the functional core (3) is arranged on a first side of the carrier material (9) and a counter magnet (8) can be positioned on an opposite side of the carrier material (9), so that the carrier material (9) is held between the functional core (3) and the counter magnet (8) without the need for penetration of the carrier material, wherein the front module (1) has a light-guiding, transparent or translucent surface (2) which receives, distributes, scatters or amplifies the light emitted by the light source (4).

Description

1. Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a portable lighting element, in particular a lighting element that can be attached to clothing, bags, or similar substrates, and which serves for optical highlighting, visibility, or decorative display. The invention belongs to the technical field of portable lighting and display elements, especially those that do not require a permanent connection to the substrate and can be reattached. 2. State of the art / Problem statement

[0002] Various portable lighting elements are known from the prior art, including luminous patches or textiles with integrated LEDs, flashing pins or badges with pin or clip attachments, and bags or backpacks with permanently integrated electronics. These existing solutions have disadvantages, as they often require damaging attachment methods, are not modular, have limited lighting effects, or are only usable in specific positions. This highlights the need for a more flexible, gentler, and visually improved solution. 3. Object of the invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a portable lighting element that can be attached without penetrating or damaging a substrate material, can be flexibly positioned, has a modular design and offers an improved optical lighting effect. 4. Solution to the task

[0004] The problem is solved by a modular, magnetically attachable lighting element with a functional core containing at least one light source and a power source, and an interchangeable front module with a light-guiding surface. Attachment is achieved via magnetic coupling, in which the substrate material is held between the functional core and the counter magnet without being penetrated. 5. Advantages of the invention

[0005] The invention enables gentle fastening, flexible positioning, modular design, improved lighting effect, and a compact and practical design. 6. Exemplary embodiments

[0006] The functional core can be designed as a closed housing and contain a replaceable power source. The front module can have different shapes and, through structured surfaces, enable targeted light distribution. The lighting element can be activated via a switch or by magnetic coupling. 7.
