Abstract: The invention relates to a powerful, robust and durable light-emitting diode lighting system with a protection rating of up to IP69, while maintaining a low manufacturing cost. It consists of an insulated metal substrate, on which at least one light-emitting diode is placed, supplied by a cable or a connector. The resulting circuit is then wrapped in a heat-shrinkable sheath, which will remove the air and dissipate the heat from the substrate and diodes in an optimal manner, the heat dissipation power thereof being about ten times that of air. Each end is then overmoulded, in order to make the system sealed and robust. The overmoulding can be used to add a sealing lip around the connector, as well as specific recesses to allow various attachment methods, individually or in groups. The device according to the invention is intended for domestic, industrial and horticultural lighting, depending on whether a translucent or transparent substrate is used.
