Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011110217A1] A flexible light strip (1, 1A, 1B) comprises a flexible printed circuit board (2, 2A, 2B), a plurality of light sources (3) arranged on the flexible printed circuit board for emitting light, first conductors for carrying current arranged on the flexible printed circuit board connected to and arranged for energizing the light sources, and a housing (4). In one aspect, the light sources are arranged to emit light substantially normal to the flexible printed circuit board. The housing comprises at least a first portion (7) and a second portion (8) extending along the flexible printed circuit board, and having different optical properties. The first portion is at least substantially translucent for light emitted by the light sources. The first and second portions are arranged such that the emitted light is reflected off the second portion and the main distribution direction of the emitted light is redirected to produce an intensity pattern with a maximum intensity in a direction (E) at an angle (a) to the normal (H) of the flexible printed circuit board.
