In some form to the invention the connectors are dimensioned configured whereby mating male and female connectors that are part of respective modules allow relative rotation therebetween. Both the lighting modules in the base module may be cylindrical. The lighting modules may include a bullet housing. The invention also includes a bracket for mounting an associated framed artistic work having a mounting wire that is generally horizontal when the artistic work is normally viewed which includes a base; a hook depending from the base, the hook being mounted to allow movement toward and away from the base whereby the hook can engage the mounting wire and raised the artistic work into engagement with the base.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
