A modular lighting system is described comprising a plurality of elongated light modules which are selectively connected in an end-to-end relationship to achieve the desired light length. Each of the light modules have a female plug portion on one end thereof and a male plug portion on the other end thereof. The desired number of light modules may be secured together in an end-to-end relationship by inserting the male plug portion of one light module into the female plug portion of an adjacent light module. The light modules are provided with a plurality of light bulbs mounted thereon and a reflector positioned at one side thereof.
