Abstract
A light fitting unit having a low current input for illuminated signs. The light fitting unit comprises a housing (1) for mounting a plurality of LEDs (4). The housing has four lateral surfaces (1.1-1.4) and two opposite main surfaces (1.5, 1.6). Furthermore, a mounting cap (2) is provided on a first lateral surface (1.1) of the housing. The further lateral surfaces (1.2, 1.3, 1.4) of the housing are enclosed by a groove (3), in the bottom (3.1) of which a plurality of apertures (5) are provided in which a plurality of LEDs (4) are disposed. The light fitting unit can be used as a light source in any illuminated signs instead of conventional bulbs. It is characterized by a low current input and long service life. Fitting in already existing illuminated signs simply by insertion into existing holders is achieved by screw caps or bayonet caps.
