A lighting device assembly and a method of mounting a lighting device assembly

Abstract

A lighting device assembly comprising an elongate base member (3) having a wall portion (9) on which several light emitting diodes (11) are mounted along the length of the base member, and an end cap (15) including an electrical terminal (17) at each respective end of the base member. The lighting device assembly further has an elongate light transmissive optical member (5) configured to be assembled with the base member, thereby enclosing the light emitting diodes. The base member is provided with at least one switch (55) configured to close an electric circuit connecting the light emitting diodes with the electrical terminals. The optical member is provided with at least one switching portion (59), configured to close said at least one switch in conjunction with the assembly of the base member and the optical member, said at least one switch being opened when the base member and the optical member are disassembled.
