Abstract

A lighting system includes a plurality of modular components, comprising elongate strips (65) of different finite lengths having elongate lighting circuits (67-69) therein and connector means (110) for connecting adjacent strips (65) end to end and electrically conecting the lighting circuits (67-69) thereon to enable a voltage to be applied across a series of illuminating devices (60, 60') provided at predetermined spaced locations along the length of the strips (65) so connected. The illuminating devices on each strip are connected in series and the series connected illuminating devices associated with each strip are connected in parallel with the series connected illuminating devices associated with each of the other strips. The series connections of the illuminating devices associated with the respective strips are balanced so that they are voltage compatible with one another. In some embodiments a plurality of series connected illuminating devices are provided on each strip. Ring voltage supply lines (200, 201) and voltage pulse control (202) lines may also be provided on the strips (65).
