Abstract
A modular illumination assembly (10) includes at least two units, one of the at least two units presenting a first adaptor (42) and another of the at least two units presenting a second adaptor (56) to be assembled with one another and disassembled from one another along a common interface (46). One of the at least two units is a modular base unit (20) having an illumination device for illuminating an environment and a power supply electrically connected to the illumination device to supply power to the illumination device. Another of the at least two units is an accessory unit without a power supply that requires power to operate. The modular base unit (20) and the accessory unit are removably connectable mechanically and electrically with one another at the common interface (46) by the first adaptor (42) and the second adaptor (56) to provide power between the modular base unit (20) and the accessory unit.

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
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
