  • Patent number: 10378746
    Abstract: A lighting device having a support element with an elongated receiving region which has a U-shaped cross-section and having a first limb of the U, a second limb of the U, and a connecting limb that connects the two limbs of the U. The lighting device further has an LED lighting module with at least one LED for generating light in order to emit a light of the lighting device, the LED lighting module being arranged on the support element in a retained manner. The lighting device further has a contacting element for supplying power to the LED lighting module. The connecting limb has a through-opening, the contacting element and LED lighting module being arranged so as to be connected in an electrically conductive and reversibly releasable manner such that the electric connection passes through the through-opening.
