ABSTRACT:
A flexible conductor of strip configuration including a pair of copper conductors laminated between a pair of insulating material layers, one of said layers comprising vinyl having an elastic deformation characteristic capable of taking a temporary set on deformation within its elastic limit and the other layer being of mylar, as assembled thereto a plurality of incandescent light bulbs, each having bare wire leads coated by an electrically conductive grease and means for mounting and retaining the bulbs to the conductor with the leads in electrical contact with the conductor, such means for mounting including portions of the vinyl layer overlying the leads. During assembly of the bulb leads to the conductor, the vinyl layer is pierced and portions are deformed within the elastic limit of the material to form tunnels in which the bulb wire leads are inserted. As the vinyl material reacts under its memory toward its undeformed state, it clamps the wire leads in electrical contact with the conductors and the bulbs in assembled relation to the cable.
