Abstract
A lighting strip system, including a carrier rail ( ), which bounds a hollow space, to be mounted on a wall or ceiling, a plurality of electrical wires ( ) running longitudinally in the hollow space, for the delivery of supply voltage and, if applicable, control signals. The lighting strip system also includes a plurality of coupling parts ( ) arranged in the hollow space with spacing in the longitudinal direction of the carrier rail ( ). The coupling parts are electrically connected with the wires ( ). A plurality of elongate lights (A A A . . . ) can be mounted one after another on the carrier rail in longitudinal direction. Electrical counter-coupling parts ( ) are provided on the lights (A A A . . . ) which when placed on the carrier rail ( ) enter into the hollow space and make electrical plug contact with corresponding coupling parts ( ). In order to attain a simple and in particular rapid mounting, the coupling parts ( ) and the wires ( ) constitute a prefabricated intermediate product, the carrier rail ( ) being so formed that the intermediate product can be moved longitudinally into the carrier rail ( ).
