Patent number: 10524320Abstract: Linear lighting is disclosed. The linear lighting includes a narrow, elongate printed circuit board (PCB). A plurality of LED light engines are disposed on the PCB and are electrically connected to it. The PCB is divided physically and electrically into repeating blocks, which are physically in series with one another and electrically in parallel. A pair of conductors extends the entire length of the linear lighting. Each of the conductors has a service loop corresponding to the position of each of the cut points. A covering encapsulates the PCB and the pair of conductors. The service loops in the conductors provide for additional length of conductor when the linear lighting is cut at a cut point, so that the linear lighting can be connected to power.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2019Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: Elemental LED, Inc.Inventors: Travis Irons, Adam L Pruitt
