An enclosure binding layer encloses an outside of the first and second flexible wires. At least one supporting body is arranged between the adjacent first and second flexible wires. The supporting body has two surfaces that are respectively formed with a first receiving groove and a second receiving groove extending along an axis line of the first and second flexible wires. The first and second receiving grooves receive the adjacent first and second flexible wires to dispose therein so as to have the supporting body filled between the adjacent first and second flexible wires, to realize supporting and constraining of the adjacent flexible wires. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A lamp conductor-cable, comprising: a first electrical wire; a second electrical wire, which is adjacent to and arranged side by side with the first electrical wire, wherein the first and second electrical wires each have a proximal end that is mounted to a soft base on which a light-emitting element is arranged to electrically connect with the proximal ends of the first and second electrical wires, and the first and second electrical wires supply electricity to the light-emitting element through the proximal ends; an enclosure binding layer, which encloses an outside of the first and second electrical wires for looping around and clustering together the first and second electrical wires; and a supporting body, which is interposed between the first and second electrical wires, the supporting body having two surfaces that are respectively formed with a first receiving groove and a second receiving groove extending along an axis of the first and second electrical wires, wherein the first and second receiving grooves receive the adjacent first and second electrical wires to dispose therein respectively, so that the supporting body is filled between the first and second electrical wires, and wherein each of the first and second electrical wires has a distal end opposite to the proximal end, and each of the first and second electrical wire has a portion between the proximal end and the distal end and extending out of the soft base through an end face of the soft base, wherein the supporting body is arranged between the portions of the first and second electrical wires at a location outside of and adjacent to the end face of the soft base and the enclosing binding layer encloses the outside of the first and second electrical wires, the supporting body between the portions of the first and second electrical wires, and at least a portion of the soft base to which the proximal ends of the first and second electrical wires are mounted. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The lamp conductor-cable according to claim 1, wherein the enclosure binding layer comprises a heat-shrinkage film tube. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The lamp conductor-cable according to claim 1, wherein the supporting body has a height that is equal to a diameter of the first or second electrical wire. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The lamp conductor-cable according to claim 1, wherein the supporting body is formed with a sideway lip in each of two side edges of each of the first and second receiving grooves to project toward a circumference of the first or second electrical wire. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The lamp conductor-cable according to claim 4, wherein the sideway lips of the supporting body that are formed on the two side edges of each of the first and second receiving grooves are coincident with tangential lines at points of circumferences of the first and second electrical wires intersecting vertical radial lines. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The lamp conductor-cable according to claim 1, wherein the light-emitting element comprises an insertion pin, and the insertion pin of the light-emitting element is selectively insertable into the soft base that is formed with an insertion guide hole corresponding thereto to electrically connect with the proximal ends of the first and second electrical wires.
