A lighting module includes a ribbon-like containment body with a web wall having a first and a second face opposite to each other and a pair of side walls extending sidewise of the first face of the web wall to define a channel-like shape of the containment body, a ribbon-like mounting board for mounting light radiation sources, the mounting board being arranged in the channel-like shape of the containment body with a mounting surface facing away from the first face of the web wall of the containment body, and a light radiation source mounted on the mounting surface of the board for projecting light radiation from the channel-like shape of the containment body. The lighting module includes a pair of hook-like profiles protruding from and along the second face of the web wall of the containment body to permit mounting of the lighting module by hooking to a mounting element.
Abstract:
A mounting device for mounting on a substrate a plate or board-like lighting source may include a frame member for surrounding the plate or board-like lighting source, anchoring formations for anchoring the frame member onto the substrate while permitting movement of the frame member towards and away from the substrate, elastic means for elastically urging the frame member towards the substrate, and one or more locking members mounted on the frame member and radially displaceable with respect to the frame member between: a radially outward position, in which the plate or board-like lighting source can be inserted into the frame member and positioned between the frame member and the substrate, and a radially inward position, in which the locking member(s) abuts/abut against the plate or board-like lighting source located between the frame member and the substrate, elastically urging the plate or board-like lighting source towards the substrate.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, a connector for a lighting device is provided. The lighting device has a planar support with at least one electrical contact formation at an edge of the planar support. The connector includes a fork-shaped shell with a notch coupleable with said planar support edge with said planar support edge inserted in said notch, and an electrical contact structure on at least one side of said notch configured to provide electrical contact with an electrical contact formation on said edge inserted in said notch.
Abstract:
A method for mounting planar lighting modules on a mounting surface may include: providing on opposite sides of the lighting module fixing indentations opening toward the aforesaid sides, superimposing on said opposite sides of the lighting module stiffening bars having lateral lobes extending into said indentations, and fixing to the mounting surface the stiffening bars superimposed on the opposite sides of the lighting module with the opposite sides of the lighting module sandwiched between the stiffening bars and the mounting surface, whereby the stiffening bars urge the lighting module toward the mounting surface.

Abstract:
A lighting device may include a strip-like carrier with a first and a second opposed faces with light radiation sources on the first face, and a strip-like profiled member having a pi-shaped cross section, including a channel-like central portion with a bottom wall and side walls. The strip-like carrier is arranged in the profiled member with the first face and the light radiation sources facing outwardly of the central portion and the second face facing the bottom wall of central portion. The pi-shaped profiled member includes two sidewise extensions laterally to the central portion, to provide lateral fixing formations for the lighting device.
Abstract:
A lighting device includes an elongated profiled body with a web wall having first and second opposing faces, and two side walls to the side of the web wall, the latter having longitudinal slots extending therealong. In the profiled body, there may be provided an elongated light radiation source module including a support board with electrically conductive formations facing said longitudinal slots and at least one electrically-powered light radiation source which is in electrical contact with said electrically conductive formations. The light radiation source module is locatable in elongated profiled body extending between both side walls, with support board facing towards the first face of web wall. An electrical contact slider member slidable along the second face of web wall is provided with electrical contact pins adapted to extend into said longitudinal slots. Slider member is displaceable towards support board with pins contacting said electrically conductive formations of support board.
Abstract:
Lighting devices, and methods of manufacturing the same, are provided. A lighting device includes a cover through which emitted light passes and a formed flexible light engine. The formed flexible light engine is placed within a housing, or serves as the housing itself. An interface couples to cover to the housing or the formed flexible light engine. The formed flexible light engine includes a flexible substrate and a plurality of solid state light sources located thereon. The plurality of solid state light sources are configured to emit light through the cover. The formed light engine has a defined shape created during the forming process. This enables placement on the housing within the lighting device, or contributes to the overall shape of the lighting device.
