Lighting device with multiple light sources and light guide with bend angle that equals connection angle of the connection between light sources

A lighting device comprising:

• n light sources, n being equal to 2 or more, each light source comprising a LED array on a carrier having two carrier ends at opposite sides of the LED array, wherein the LED array comprises repeating lighting elements, wherein each lighting element has an optical center,
• n−1 connections between carrier ends of neighboring light sources of the n light sources, each connection having a non-zero and non-straight connection angle αn−1, and
• a light guide having an edge surface separating a first side surface and an opposite second side surface,
• wherein, at each of the n−1 connections, two or more lighting elements at each carrier end of the neighboring light sources have a pitch, measured between the optical centers of the lighting elements, which is maintained across the connection,
• wherein the light guide is mounted on the n light sources such that each LED array is arranged to emit light into the light guide via the edge surface,
• wherein, at each of the n−1 connections, the edge surface of the light guide has a bend with a bend angle, the bend angle being equal to the connection angle αn−1 of the respective connection, and
• wherein at each of the n−1 connections, the bend of the light guide has a centerline radius of curvature such that a centerline of the light guide is aligned with the optical centers of the lighting elements.
