Abstract

Provide a plurality of lighting modules. Connect together a plurality of the lighting modules for forming a series of lighting modules. Cut the series of lighting modules into lighting devices having a lighting module. Interconnection elements of the last lighting module of each lighting device are cut along their transverse axes. Each lighting module includes a first set of contacts placed at a first end of said lighting module and a second set of contacts placed in corresponding positions at a second end of said lighting module. Each lighting module is connected to the next lighting module by means of interconnection elements which connect the first set of contacts of each lighting module to the second set of contacts of the next lighting module. Interconnection elements include a base plate and a hollow portion in order to form female connectors when said interconnection elements are cut along their transverse axis.
