Abstract

Beschrieben wird eine Beleuchtungsleiste mit Leiterbahnen (A, B, C), die mit einer Spannungsquelle und mit LED-Elementen (1 - 6) verbunden sind, wobei ein Steuergerät (S) und eine Verschaltung dafür sorgen, daß die LED-Elemente (1 - 6) mit lediglich drei Leiterbahnen (A - C) einander nachlaufend ein- und wieder ausschaltbar sind, um auf diese Weise ein Lauflicht zu erzeugen, wobei ein intermittierend arbeitendes Steuergerät (S) verwendet wird, das jeweils eine der Leiterbahnen (A, B oder C) außer Funktion setzt, eine jeweils andere Leiterbahn auf Plus und die jeweils verbleibende Leiterbahn auf Minus schaltet.

Figure 00000001
A lighting strip with conductor tracks (A, B, C) is described, which are connected to a voltage source and to LED elements (1 - 6), a control unit (S) and a circuit ensuring that the LED elements (1 - 6) with only three conductor tracks (A - C) can be switched on and off one after the other in order to generate a running light in this way, an intermittently operating control device (S) being used, each of which one of the conductor tracks (A, B or C) deactivates, switches a different trace to plus and the remaining trace to minus.
