Abstract
A lighting system comprises a band-shaped base element extending along an axis; a plurality of first support elements connected to the base element and provided with fixing members to an external surface, for example a ceiling; and a plurality of lighting devices supported by the base element; the base element comprises a band body longitudinally elongated along the axis and made of a flexible polymeric material and which houses at least a pair of conductive metal wires, for example made of copper, extending parallel to each other and to the axis along the body; the body being foldable by hand about folding axes perpendicular to the axis.

A lighting system comprising a band-shaped base element extending along an axis;
- a plurality of first support elements connected to the base element and provided with fixing members for attaching a surface;
- and a plurality of lighting devices supported by the base element;
- characterized in that the base element comprises a band body longitudinally elongated along the axis and made of a flexible polymeric material, the band body having a first face and a second face opposite and parallel to each other and housing at least a pair of conductive metal wires which extend parallel to each other and to the axis along the band body the conductive metal wires being housed in respective longitudinal parallel grooves formed in the first face and extending parallel to the axis, the grooves being open towards the first face so that the conductive metal wires have respective contact portions outside the grooves, and the band body further housing a flat reinforcement foil made of harmonic steel, extending parallel to the axis along the band body and having a thickness between 0.1 mm and 2.0 mm, the flat reinforcement foil being housed in a longitudinal channel extending parallel to the axis and formed in the second face;
- band body being foldable by hand about folding axes perpendicular to the axis.
