The lighting module includes a pair of hook-like profiles protruding from and along the second face of the web wall of the containment body to permit mounting of the lighting module by hooking to a mounting element. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A lighting module, comprising: a ribbon-like containment body with a web wall having a first and a second face opposite to each other and a pair of side walls extending sidewise of the first face of the web wall to define a channel-like shape of the containment body; a ribbon-like mounting board for mounting light radiation sources, the mounting board being arranged in the channel-like shape of the containment body with a mounting surface facing away from the first face of the web wall of the containment body; and at least one light radiation source mounted on the mounting surface of the mounting board for projecting light radiation from the channel-like shape of the containment body; wherein the lighting module includes a pair of hook-like profiles protruding from and along the second face of the web wall of the containment body to permit mounting of the lighting module by hooking to a mounting element. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The lighting module of claim 1, wherein the hook-like profiles have complementary shapes jointly defining a clamp-like hooking formation. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The lighting module of claim 1, wherein the hook-like profiles have a cross-sectional L shape. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The lighting module of claim 1, wherein the web wall of the containment body has opposite parallel sides and wherein the hook-like profiles extend along said opposite parallel sides. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The lighting module of claim 1, wherein the hook-like profiles include flexible material, preferably silicone material. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The lighting module of claim 1, wherein the hook-like profiles are made in one piece with said containment body. ### Claim 7 A method of installing at least one lighting module, the at least one lighting module comprising: a ribbon-like containment body with a web wall having a first and a second face opposite to each other and a pair of side walls extending sidewise of the first face of the web wall to define a channel-like shape of the containment body; a ribbon-like mounting board for mounting light radiation sources, the mounting board being arranged in the channel-like shape of the containment body with a mounting surface facing away from the first face of the web wall of the containment body; and at least one light radiation source mounted on the mounting surface of the mounting board for projecting light radiation from the channel-like shape of the containment body; wherein the lighting module includes a pair of hook-like profiles protruding from and along the second face of the web wall of the containment body to permit mounting of the lighting module by hooking to a mounting element; the method comprising: providing a ribbon-like mounting element having a transverse width corresponding to the distance between the hook-like profiles of the lighting module; and coupling the lighting module to the ribbon-like mounting element by hooking the lighting module to the mounting element by means of said hook-like profiles. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, further comprising: selecting the mounting element as one of: a support strip; a strip portion of a support body; a plurality of wire-like elements coupled into a strip. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, further comprising: selecting the mounting element as a plurality of wire-like elements coupled into a strip along the sides thereof ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein said wire-like elements include an electrically conductive material, whereby said wire-like elements are adapted to transmit electricity along the lighting module. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, further comprising. electrically connecting the wire-like elements of at least one of: a plurality of the lighting modules of the at least one lighting module; or a plurality of portions of the at least one lighting module. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method as claimed in claim 11, wherein the electrical connection is made by piercing connectors.
