Housing for a luminaire with a signal line having a conductor integrated with a dielectric, which is attached to the housing by an adhesive tape

A housing for a luminaire or an operating device for the luminaire, the housing being configured to accommodate at least one electronic component and/or a light source, and comprising a conductive housing component (2), wherein

• the housing includes at least one line (1, 1′, 1″, 1″′, 1″″) for transmitting electric high frequency signals or for transmitting and/or receiving radio waves, wherein the at least one line (1, 1′, 1″, 1″′, 1″″) is formed by arranging a dielectric layer (4, 4a, 4b, 9) and a conductor (3, 3a . . . 3c, 7) on the conductive housing component (2) such that the conductive housing component (2) serves as a ground plane, and the conductive housing component (2) and the conductor (3, 3a . . . 3c, 7) sandwich the dielectric layer (4, 4a, 4b, 9);
• and wherein
• the dielectric layer (4, 4a, 4b, 9) is at least partially applied in form of an adhesive tape attached to the conductive housing component (2).
