Abstract

The module has at least one elongated fluorescent tube, end pieces with connection elements and an electronic voltage adapter. Tubes are held between tube holders. The end pieces have two levels, with input and output connection elements in at least one level for interconnection for series connection of modules using connection arrangements with each side exclusively compatible with single associated connection elements. The module has at least one elongated fluorescent tube (10) and can be connected to further modules to form a light band of selectable length. Each module has end pieces (13,13') with connection elements (14,15) and an electronic voltage adapter. Tubes are held between tube holders (11,11'). The end pieces have two levels (A,B), with input and output connection elements in at least one level for interconnection for series connection of modules using connection arrangements with each side exclusively compatible with single associated connection elements
