Patent ID: 10616977

Abstract:
Linear array of lighting nodes (3) which are connected at different respective positions along a flexible, rigid or malleable continuous supporting line (6). One or more attachable dividers (5) are provided, configured to be mechanically attachable by a user onto the line (6) without severing the line, or at least without completely severing the line, each attachable between a respective neighbouring pair of the lighting nodes (3). Each of the attachable dividers (5) is configured so as, when attached to the line (6), to enable detection of a position at which the divider (5) is connected along the line (6) relative to the lighting nodes (3), and configured to provide information related to said position to a controller (7), thus dividing the lighting nodes into different segments along the line. The controller (7) is configured to apply a different lighting effect to the illumination emitted by the lighting nodes (3) in each of some or all of the different segments.
