Abstract
An electrical lighting system for mounting to a surface. The lighting system includes an electrical power supply that is mounted by adhesive backing to a surface. Light fixtures use piercing connectors to pierce the electrical power supply and engage the electrical leads to provide power to the light fixtures. The light fixtures are held in place by adhesive.
Claims25
An electrical lighting system wherein said system comprises:
- two parallel electrical leads mounted in an insulative material;
- an adhesive strip mounted on one surface of said insulative material to secure said insulative material to a mounting surface;
- a power source for supplying electrical power to said two parallel electrical leads;
- at least one light fixture;
- electrically conductive leads extending from said at least one light fixture;
- and
- piercing points on said electrically conductive leads that pierce said insulative material to engage said two parallel electrical leads to provide electrical current from said two parallel electrical leads to said at least one light fixture.

A method for installing a lighting system, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing two parallel electrical leads mounted in an insulative material where the insulative material has an adhesive strip mounted on one surface of said insulative material to secure said insulative material to a mounting surface;
- pressing the adhesive strip against a mounting surface to secure the insulative materials mounting the two parallel leads to the mounting surface;
- connecting an electrical power source to the two parallel leads;
- providing at least one light fixture having electrically conductive leads having piercing points extending from the at least one light fixture;
- and
- inserting the piercing points through the insulative material until the piercing points engage the two parallel electrical leads to provide electrical current to the at least one light fixture.
