Lighting device comprising intersecting wires

A method of manufacturing a lighting device, the method comprising:

• providing a plurality of first wires each having a first longitudinal axis and a bent section;
• providing a plurality of second wires each having a second longitudinal axis and a bent section;
• arranging the plurality of first wires and the plurality of second wires to intersect within a plurality of intersection regions such that the first longitudinal axis and the second longitudinal axis are in the same plane, the bent section of each of the plurality of first wires is arranged in one of the plurality of intersection regions, the bent section of each of the plurality of second wires is arranged between two intersection regions of the plurality of intersection regions, and a predefined minimum distance is provided between the plurality of first wires and the plurality of second wires in the plurality of intersection regions;
• arranging a plurality of light-emitting elements at the plurality of intersection regions;
• and
• establishing electrical contact between the plurality of light-emitting elements and the plurality of first wires and between the plurality of light-emitting elements and the plurality of second wires.
