  • Patent number: 6837598
    Abstract: A lighting device having a three-way conductor strip with three conductors extending in an axial direction and electrically connected at intervals to LED elements arranged in a row. Each LED element is in a plastic housing which surrounds the LED and the conductor strip, is light emitting and may have a lens over the LED. The housing includes two shells fixed together, and with supporting elements therein for an LED element, an adjacent axial conductor strip area and a heat activatable electrically conductive material. The three-way conductor strip comprises a continuous positive conductor, a continuous negative conductor and an interrupted central conductor that extends from LED element to LED element.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6074074
    Abstract: A lighting strip is provided having a multicore conductor strip and LED elements which are arranged in a row one behind the other. The conductor strip is composed of a large number of conductor strip sections which are cut to length and are arranged in a row in the axial direction. A printed circuit board is in each case arranged between two axially adjacent conductor strip sections and is electrically conductively connected to them. Each printed circuit board is fitted with an LED element.
