The present invention relates to a lighting fixture for illuminating part of a track on a railway of I-type rails, which lighting fixture is arranged for attachment to a rail, wherein the lighting fixture comprises an elongated housing, which housing has a mounting surface, which is arranged for attachment to the body of a rail in lengthwise direction of the rail, an array of light emitting elements which are distributed in lengthwise direction over the housing, and power connection means for connecting the lighting fixture to power means for powering the light emitting elements.
A lighting fixture according to the preamble is known in the state of the art and has been described in the German Gebrachmuster DE202007003150U1.
The known lighting fixture has to be bonded or screwed to the rail.
The known lighting fixture therefore has the disadvantage that installation and replacement is labour intensive.
The present invention has for its object to provide a lighting fixture stated in the preamble which obviates this drawback.
