Abstract
A support structure for lighting devices, the support structure includes a ribbon-like support member with electrically conductive lines with mounting locations for electrically powered light radiation sources. The structure includes a sequence of adjacent units having opposed end regions and is severable between mutually facing end regions of adjacent units in the sequence. The units include, at the end regions, at least one electrical connection formation. The electrical connection formation includes a proximal portion electrically coupled to the electrically conductive lines of the respective unit, and a distal portion electrically insulated from the proximal portion. The distal portion is electrically coupled to the distal portion of an electrical connection formation provided in an adjacent unit to the respective unit in the sequence of adjacent units and is separable therefrom by severing the support structure.
