Abstract
A flexible lighting strip including a circuit of modular construction formed thereon, light emitting diodes connected to said circuit, and the circuit being connectable to control circuitry which provides selected energization to said circuit and the light emitting diodes for effecting a moving light display.
Claims1
A flexible lighting strip comprising, in combination;
- a printed circuit formed on said strip;
- said circuit being formed as discrete modules along the length of the strip with terminal connectors at the ends of each module to permit said module to be connected to an energizing source as an individual circuit independently of the other modules;
- a plurality of lamps mounted in spaced relation along the length of the strip and electrically connected to said printed circuit;
- a group of lamps connected in each of said modules, each group having the same number of lamps;
- said circuit being connectable to a source for energizing the lamps of said discrete modules to light in sequence,
- and the corresponding lamps in the various modules being connected by said circuit to be energized concurrently, at a repetition rate of up to about one second to give the appearance that the lights from said lamps are moving along the length of the strip.
