Lighting module for a modular lighting system

Abstract

The present invention relates to a lighting module (20a, 20b, 20c), a modular lighting system (2) and a method of manufacturing such a lighting module. The lighting module comprises a board (21) having a central portion (24) and a peripheral edge (22) adapted to be coupled to the peripheral edge of the board of another lighting module, and a plurality of light sources (23) arranged at the board such that the pitch in proximity to the peripheral edge is larger than the pitch in proximity to the central portion. The present invention is advantageous in that it enables the realization of a modular lighting system whose luminance distribution is perceived as more homogenous. The pitch between the light sources of the board can be reduced while reducing the perception of any dark areas between neighbouring lighting modules as illuminance interruptions (or discontinuities).
