Abstract

Beschrieben wird eine Beleuchtungseinrichtung mit einem dreiadrigen Leiterstreifen (2), der in axialer Richtung mit in Reihe hintereinander angeordneten LED-Elementen (3) elektrisch leitend verbunden ist, wobei jedes LED-Element (3) von einem auch den Leiterstreifen (2) in Höhe eines jeden LED-Elements (3) umgebenden, zumindest bereichsweise lichtdurchlässigen Kunststoffgehäuse (4) aufgenommen ist. Dabei besteht das Kunststoffgehäuse (4) aus zwei Schalen (9, 10), von denen die eine als Aufnahmeschale für die Aufnahme eines LED-Elements (3), eines axialen Leiterstreifenbereichs und elektrisch leitender Kontaktmittel und die andere Schale als Deckelschale vorgesehen ist, die unter Einschluß von Dichtmittel an der ersten Schale festgelegt ist, und daß der dreiadrige Leiterstreifen (2) einen durchlaufenden Plusleiter (5), einen durchlaufenden Minusleiter (6) und einen unterbrochenen, sich von LED-Element (3) zu LED-Element (3) erstreckenden Mittelleiter (7) umfaßt.

Figure 00000001
Described is a lighting device with a three-wire conductor strip (2) which is electrically connected in the axial direction with in series successively arranged LED elements (3), each LED element (3) of one and the conductor strip (2) in height of each LED element (3) surrounding, at least partially translucent plastic housing (4) is added. In this case, the plastic housing (4) consists of two shells (9, 10), one of which is provided as a receiving tray for receiving an LED element (3), an axial conductor strip area and electrically conductive contact means and the other shell as a cover shell, the is defined with the inclusion of sealant to the first shell, and that the three-wire conductor strip (2) a continuous positive conductor (5), a continuous negative conductor (6) and a broken, from LED element (3) to LED element (3 ) extending center conductor (7).
