EP1162400A2 — Modular lighting elements with leds (light-emitting diodes)

USPTO Abstract

The invention concerns new modular lighting elements (M) comprising a printed circuit (B), at least one male connector (Cm) and at least one female connector (Cf), series of LEDs (light-emitting diodes) (L) connected in series in groups and integrated circuits (I) for the adjustment of the current supplied to the LEDs; the connectors (Cf,Cm) are electrically and directly connected to each other and said connection lines (La,Lb) for the connectors supplies power to one or more microchips that in turn supplies/supply power to a series of LEDs. The printed circuit (B) may have any shape, for example it may be linear, rectangular, angular, T-shaped, arc-shaped, square, circular or polyhedral, regular or irregular. It is possible to carry out a modular lighting system comprising one or more lighting elements (M).
