Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A lighting module includes a power line for receiving a power supply current and a ground line, a segmentation point for cutting the lighting module into two parts, a first set of light sources upstream of the segmentation point, a second set of light sources downstream of the segmentation point, wherein the first and second sets of light sources are connected in series, and a resistive element connected to the intermediate point between the first and the second set of light sources, and the ground line, which is configured in such a way that: when the lighting module has not been cut, the resistive element has a resistance which is greater than the resistance of the portion of the lighting module downstream of the segmentation point, and when the lighting module has been cut, the resistive element has a resistance which is less than the resistance thereof.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A lighting module comprising: a power line for receiving a power supply current and a ground line, a segmentation point for cutting said lighting module into two parts, a first set of light sources upstream of said segmentation point, and at least a second set of light sources downstream of said segmentation point, wherein said second set of light sources is connected in series with said first set of light sources, wherein said lighting module…
