Abstract: An illuminating arrangement in connection with a textile structure. The illuminating arrangement includes an electric wire system engaging a machine-fabricated textile structure. The electric wire system includes electrical components electrically coupled therewith and providing at least an illuminating function, which are located in a longitudinal and/or lateral direction of the textile structure at a distance from each other for creating an essentially reticulated lighting effect, and a control and power supply system for operating the electrical components. An electrical wire system of the illuminating arrangement includes a substantially flat circuit-board technology based wire element comprising said electrical components and with a wrapper element for all-round protection. The wire element is integrated within a knitted textile fabric structure with an inlay technique using machine knitting.
