Abstract:
1. Lighting unit, comprising a plurality of lighting modules and a number of connecting elements with coupling means, wherein each lighting module comprises at least one essentially planar light-emitting element in an enclosure and a number of counter-coupling means arranged along at least one edge of the enclosure; and wherein neighbouring lighting modules are coupled together physically and detachably by means of at least one connecting element such that the light-emitting element of a first lighting module is electrically connected to the light-emitting element of a second lighting module by an interaction of at least part of the coupling means of the connecting element and at least part of the counter-coupling means of the corresponding lighting modules, wherein the coupling means of the connecting element comprises a two-pole connector comprising an electrically conducting wire as a first pole, with two ends and a coupling terminal arranged at each end; an insulating sheath surrounding the electrically conducting wire; and, as second pole, an electrically conducting outer sheath surrounding the insulating sheath.
