Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0859350A1] Unit uses bulbs (19) to illuminate a translucent surface (37). It includes attachments for the surface and a supporting, insulating, protective hood (1). Its profiled sections are end to end. Each forms a pair of wings diverging from the top. The profiled, electrically-conductive, sections (15) are internally concave and fit within the wings to form light reflectors. At the top these butt against a projection where the wings join. Each conductive section is at a different electrical polarity, and can supply electrical energy over the entire length of the support. The upper ends of the profiles (15) fold, the fold butted against a central projection, forming the supply rails. This permits the bulbs and their contacts to be placed in any required position along the unit.
