Claim:
A method for creating a roof lining, comprising a lining support and a coating, with an integrated lighting system, comprising: positioning, in a press, different layers for the lining support; pressing the layers in the press, thereby producing the lining support; producing at least one wiring hole in the lining support for passing wiring corresponding to each of one or more electroluminescent strips; when automated electroluminescent strip assembly is used, producing corner holes in the lining support that correspond with each of the corners of the lining support; extracting the lining support produced in the press; positioning the lining support on a supporting cradle, with guide nipples that, when automated electroluminescent strip assembly is used, are lodged in the corner holes of the lining support; locating or securing the one or more of the electroluminescent strips on the lining support placed on the supporting cradle; extracting the lining support with the one or more electroluminescent strips from the supporting cradle; mounting the lining support with the one or more electroluminescent strips on another press jointly with a coating; and pressing an assembly formed by the lining support and the coating in the press, obtaining a roof lining with the electroluminescent strips integrated therein.
