  • Patent number: 11162653
    Abstract: A modular LED string, an LED lighting assembly containing the LED string, and a method of manufacturing the lighting assembly are described. In various embodiments, the LED string contains LED module groups mounted on a carrier. Each module group has a series-connected row of LED modules, commencing with a first LED module followed by at least one inner LED module and terminated by a final LED module. Each main contact pad is electrically connected to a main supply track formed on the carrier and is arranged between neighbouring modules. Each secondary contact pad is electrically connected to a secondary supply track formed on the carrier and is arranged on either side of an inner module. An anode contact of each first module is electrically connected to the main supply track, and an anode contact of each remaining module is electrically connected to a secondary supply track.

  • Patent number: 10736198
    Abstract: A lighting system includes a plurality of lighting units. Each lighting unit includes a unit control circuit and a lighting element. The unit control circuit is disposed to store at least one lighting scenario. The lighting scenario comprises a succession of settings of intensity and/or color of the lighting element. A system control circuit is disposed to transmit an execute signal to one or more of the lighting units. The unit control circuit is disposed to control, upon reception of the execute signal, the lighting element according to the lighting scenario. The lighting units are connected to a common electrical power supply via two conductors. The execute signal is transmitted from the system control circuit to the lighting units wirelessly or via the two conductors.
