  • the top element 7 comprises at least two openings 11 arranged to receive, respectively, one of the fastening elements 3 assembled on the second P2 side of the printed circuit board P ( Figure 6 ).
  • the top element 7 comprises at least two hollow portions 12 each arranged near a respective opening 11 ( Figure 6 ).
  • the hollow portions 12 are arranged to receive a respective end portion 6 of the fastening elements 3, in order to ensure a mechanical connection between the top element 7 and the fastening elements 3 assembled on the second side P2 of the printed circuit board P.
  • the top element 7 further comprises at least two protruding elements 10 rigidly connected to the first face 8 ( Figures 7 and 8 ).
  • the function of the protruding elements 10 is explained in detail in the following description.
  • the fastening elements 3 may be hook-shaped, comprising a base portion 4 which can be assembled on the second side P2 of the printed circuit board P, an intermediate portion 5 designed to protrude from a respective opening 11 of the top element 7 when the top element 7 is coupled with the lighting device, and an end portion 6 arranged to engage in one of the hollow portions 12 of the top element 7 ( Figures 2 and 12 ).
  • the two fastening elements 3 are arranged on the second side P2 of the printed circuit board P at two peripheral positions diametrically opposite and aligned along a first direction ( Figure 1 ).
  • the two electrical connectors are arranged on the second side P2 of the printed circuit board P at two peripheral positions diametrically opposite and aligned along a second direction ( Figure 1 ).
  • the aforesaid first and second directions form an angle of less than 90° between each other ( Figure 1 ).
  • the two fastening elements 3, in their assembled condition, on the second side P2 of the printed circuit board P have their intermediate portions 5 extending in two opposite directions ( Figure 4 ).
