  • Patent number: 11821596
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an elongate light (1) having: an elongate light carrier (2), which extends along a longitudinal axis (A), the light carrier (2) having a contact face (20) extending along the longitudinal axis (A); an elongate lighting means (3) with a main radiation direction (H), the lighting means (3) extending along the longitudinal axis (A) in order to bear against the contact face (20); an elongate light guide (4), with an end-face input region (40) facing the lighting means (3) for coupling in the light emitted by the lighting means (3), and also with an output region (41) for emitting the light coupled in via the input region (40); and a spring element (5), which is clamped in the light carrier (2) in such a way as to press the lighting means (3) against the contact face (20) and to orient the lighting means (3) in such a way that the end-face input region (40) is opposite the lighting means (3) as viewed in the main radiation direction (H), in order to couple light emitted in the main

  • Patent number: 11732873
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an end cap (100) for a light strip lamp, having a flat main body (101) with two opposite flat sides (110, 140), the flat sides (110, 140) having a flat cover side (140) for covering a front face of a light strip lamp and a coupling side (110) for coupling to an identical end cap (100) of a laterally adjacent light strip lamp, the coupling side (110) having coupling structures (200), which are designed such that they can be releasably connected without the use of tools to the coupling structures (200) of a coupling side (110) of an identical end cap (100).

  • Patent number: 10234085
    Abstract: In a lighting strip system having an elongate support arrangement for holding lamp units and lines for electricity supply and/or signal transmission, the support arrangement has an I-shaped profile in cross section, with two receiving regions, which run in the longitudinal direction of the support arrangement and are separated by a preferably vertically aligned partition, wherein the lines for electricity supply and/or signal transmission are arranged in one of the receiving regions and operational devices of the lamp units are arranged in the other receiving region.
