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.

Claim (Index 13):
A method performed in relation to a linear array of lighting nodes connected at different respective positions along a flexible, rigid or malleable continuous supporting line, each of the lighting nodes comprising one or more lighting elements for emitting illumination; the method comprising:\n attaching one or more attachable dividers onto said line without severing the line, or at least without completely severing the line, each between a respective neighboring pair of the lighting nodes, by means of a mechanical attachment; employing a controller for controlling the illumination emitted by each of the lighting nodes; using each of the attachable dividers so as, when attached to the line, to detect a position at which each of the attachable dividers is connected along the line relative to the lighting nodes, and thereby the lighting nodes into different segments along the line; providing information related to said position to the controller; and operating the controller to apply a different lighting effect to the illumination emitted by the lighting nodes in each of some or all of the different segments.
