Abstract
A lighting apparatus includes a flexible elongate substrate, a supply rail disposed on one surface of the substrate, and first and second ground rails disposed on the other surface. Groups of SSL packages are disposed parallel to the longitudinal axis of the substrate and between the first and second ground rails. Each package has SSL elements disposed on a first side and pairs of contact pads disposed on a second side. The SSL packages in each group are serially coupled from the first package to the last package of the group. One contact pad of each pair of the contact pads of the first package of each group is coupled to the supply rail through the substrate, one contact pad of a first pair of the pairs of contact pads of the last package of each group is coupled to the first ground rail at the first surface of the substrate, and one contact pad of a second pair of the pairs of contact pads of the last package of each group is coupled to the second ground rail at the first surface of the substrate.
