Abstract
A fastening device for fastening lighting devices to T-shaped profiles of a false ceiling comprises a base wall on which the lighting device may be fastened. The fastening device also comprises two longitudinal side walls rigidly connected along the longitudinal sides of the base wall and a plurality of fastening elements arranged along the longitudinal sides of the base wall, wherein the fastening elements can be folded in the direction of the base wall, to engage the fastening device with the T-shaped profile. The fastening device also comprises at least two spacer elements arranged between the base wall and a respective longitudinal side wall to provide a gap between the side walls and the base wall. This gap provides a passage for the electrical connections between the lighting device and a power supply source located above the false ceiling.
