Abstract (en)

A lighting strip comprises an elongated substantially U-shaped body 1 formed of a base strip 3 having a pair of sides 4a, 4b extending perpendicularly from opposing longitudinal edges so as to form, with the base strip 3, an elongated channel 5. The two sides 4a, 4b each have a respective one of a pair of aligned, longitudinally extending ribs 6 formed on their facing surfaces, proximate to the open side of the channel 5, which form a constriction in the cross-section of the channel 5. A plurality of LEDs 8 are mounted in and distributed along the channel 5 on the base strip 3 so as to emit light towards the open face of the channel 5, and an elongated lens 2 is mounted so as to extend from the open face of the channel 5. The lens 2 having a longitudinally extending groove 9 formed in each side thereof in which said pair of aligned ribs 6 engage so as to retain the lens 2 in the channel 5.
