  • the holding clip 19 is also U-shaped and has the central base 190 and the side webs 193 extending on both sides thereof, which merge into wings 195 which are angled outwards. There is an inwardly raised cam 194 on each of the side webs 193 . There is a centrally positioned hole 196 in the plate-like base 190 and a nose 191 protruding from its outer edge, which can be bent in an upright or horizontal position. Further lying tabs 192 are punched out of the base 190, two in the lateral outer areas extending outside open to below the base of the 190th
  • the holding clips 19 When using the channel 8 , the holding clips 19 are placed with their base 190 on the two clamping rails 801 at the bottom 80 of the channel 8 in a somewhat transverse manner and are screwed into the undercuts 802 with their tabs 192 .
  • the downwardly curved nose 191 comes to lie transversely in the longitudinal groove 800 , so that the position of each holding clip 19 inserted is additionally stabilized beyond the friction and spring force between the tabs 192 and the clamping rails 801 .
  • the lighting module 1 can be equipped with simple tube holders 11, 11 ' and is thus equipped with a single fluorescent tube 10 (see FIGS. 6A, 14A, 20A).
  • the luminaire module 1 is provided with double socket holders 12, 12 ' and thus in pairs socket sockets 120 , so that two fluorescent tubes 10 are used (see FIGS. 6C, 13A, 13B, 20B).
  • a channel cover 9 is provided, the plate part 90 of which spans the open side of the channel 8 .
  • the enclosure 91 on both sides of the manhole cover 9 can be elastically snapped onto the thickenings 83 on the manhole 8 .
  • a lamp module 1 with its housing profile 18 can be snapped in the same way onto the holding brackets 19 , for example screwed or doweled on, the cams 194 on the side webs 193 of the holding brackets 19 in turn elastically gripping the retaining ribs 184 of the housing profile 18 which are present on both sides.
