A method for contacting a lighting device is provided, wherein the lighting device has a circuit board which is covered at least partly by a sealing compound layer; wherein the lighting device can be separated at a separating point into two lighting device sections and each of the lighting device sections has at least one electrical contact. The method may include: removing at least the sealing compound layer on both sides of the separation point so that the contacts remain covered by a thinner, remaining sealing compound layer; separating the lighting device at the separation point; attaching a connection element at least to the remaining sealing compound layer of at least one of the lighting device sections, wherein the connection element has at least one contacting element, which contacts a respective contact covered by the remaining sealing compound layer after a separation or penetration of the remaining sealing compound layer.
