Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013171148A1] The invention relates to a support rail for holding and supplying power to a plurality of lighting modules. The support rail has first conductors (1) for forming a first power supply circuit and second conductors (2) for forming a second power supply circuit. The support rail additionally has a converter unit (3) for electrically coupling the second power supply circuit to the first power supply circuit. The second power supply circuit also has a first coupling element (4) for electrically connecting a first lighting module and a second coupling element (5) for electrically connecting a second lighting module. The result of this design of the second power supply circuit is that a single converter unit is sufficient for converting a voltage for supplying power to the two lighting modules. In this way a particularly cost-effective and compact construction of the support rail becomes possible. In addition, the two lighting modules can be designed in this manner without their own converter or without their own converter unit, and therefore the lighting modules as such can be designed to occupy a particularly small space and with a low weight. Thereby the installation of the lighting modules on the support rail is facilitated.
