The task is solved with a modular system, comprising

• several light strips with different separate light sources,
• an electrical contact point at the beginning and at the end of each lighting strip for joining the lighting strips,
• electrical contact points for cutting the illumination strips formed on the illumination strip between two separate light sources,
• - Connecting elements for assembling the complete and / or cut to length lighting strips, wherein
• - The illumination strips are connectable to a voltage source via an electrical contact point.

This has the advantage that a flexibly segmentable lighting system can be created that can be easily adapted to shapes and geometries of the parts to be illuminated. The modularization of the components of the lighting system leads to a massive cost savings.

Advantageously, the electrical contact points are formed as Kontaktlötstellen. By means of these contact pads, a simple juxtaposition of the illumination strips is possible, which reduces the manufacturing costs.

In one embodiment, the electrical contact points consist of a plurality of conductor tracks for supplying a voltage and / or clock and / or data signals. Thus, the light sources different functions, such as dimming, color change, flashing u.ä. To run.

In a variant, the connecting elements are designed as extension or angle elements. By using these elements, the most diverse forms of lighting system can be realized.

In one embodiment, the extension elements and / or the angle elements are designed as adapter parts or LED-less segments. By using these elements, each area of the part to be illuminated can be individually illuminated.

Advantageously, the illumination strips have different geometries depending on technology and interconnection. Thus, standardized lighting strips can be easily connected to each other.

In a further embodiment, the light sources are designed as LEDs. By means of such LED strips a fast and inexpensive light display is possible.

A development of the invention relates to a method for producing a lighting system of a motor vehicle. In a method of making flexible lighting systems, the lighting system is assembled with a kit according to one of the features described in this patent application.

In one embodiment, the lighting system is integrated or applied in or on interior and / or exterior parts of the motor vehicle. The lighting system can thus for mood and functional lights in the interior, such as ambient lighting, reading light, interior lighting, as well as in the exterior for outdoor lighting equipment, such as turn signals, headlights, etc. be used.

Further advantages, features and details will become apparent from the following description in which - where appropriate, with reference to the drawings - at least one embodiment is described in detail. Described and / or figurative illustrated features may form the subject of the invention itself or in any meaningful combination, optionally also independent of the claims, and may in particular additionally be the subject of one or more separate application / s. The same, similar and / or functionally identical parts are provided with the same reference numerals.

• 4 an embodiment of an angle adapter,
• 5 an embodiment of a lighting system

In 1 to 4 are shown individual components of the modular system according to the invention. 1 shows an embodiment of a lighting strip 1 , The lighting strip 1 includes several separate light sources 3 , Preferably LED's, between each of which a contact solder 5 is arranged. These contact pads 5 serve for separating the illumination strip 1 , which can thus be cut to any length. The lighting strip 1 starts with an initial contact solder 7 and ends with a termination contact pad 9 , to each of which a further lighting strip 11 can be attached. As a result, any extension of the lighting system is possible.

Around the lighting strip 1 To connect to a voltage source, not shown, are connection adapter 13 . 15 provided as they are in 2 are shown. It shows 2a a 90 ° adapter 13 while in 2 B a 0 ° adapter 15 is shown. Both connection adapters 13 . 15 have lines at one end 17 for connection to the voltage source and at the other end a contact point 19 for connection to a lighting strip 1 on.
