Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1313354A1] An electroluminescent lighting device (10) includes a elongate flexible body (20) having an inner part (30) and an outer part (40), an elongate multi-layer electroluminescent strip (50) including a pair of co-extending conductive regions (52) and extending along the inner body part (30), and a pair of conductive wires (36) extending along the inner body part (30) for supplying electrical power to the strip (50). The wires (36) are separated from the strip (50) by at least a portion of the inner body part (30). A number of flexible contact elements (60) are located at intervals along the inner body part (30) for electrically connecting the conductive regions (52) to the wires (36). Each contact element (60) contacts with a respective conductive region (52) and extends through the portion of the inner body part (30) to contact a respective wire (36). <IMAGE>
