Abstract

In a lighting strip (8, 80, 380), a flexible electrically insulated cable (10, 110, 410) includes spaced apart parallel electrical conductors (12, 14, 112, 114, 118, 412, 414, 418₁, 418₂, 418₃, 418₄) bound together by electrical insulation (16, 116, 416) as a cable. The electrical conductors include power conductors (12, 14, 112, 114, 412, 414). A plurality of lighting units (20, 120, 220, 320, 420) secured to and spaced apart along the flexible electrically insulated cable each include: (i) one or more light emitting devices (24, 124a, 124b, 124c, 124d, 224b1, 224b2, 224b3, 224c1, 224c2, 224c3, 224d1, 224d2, 224d3, 424₁, 424₂, 424₃, 424₄); (ii) power regulating electrical circuitry (40, 140, 240, 340, 440); and (iii) insulation displacing conductors (28, 30, 128a, 128b, 128c, 128d, 130a, 130b, 130c, 130d, 391, 392, 393, 500, 550, 600) connecting the lighting unit with at least the power conductors. The insulation displacing conductors (500, 550, 600) may be interchangeable.
