ABSTRACT:
A modular low voltage light strip includes an elongated, linear housing open along an upper portion thereof which is adapted to receive an elongated, linear circuit board. The circuit board includes a plurality of spaced apertures along its length and a plurality of conductive strips on a first lower surface thereof extending the length of the circuit board. A conductive mounting spring is positioned over each aperture on a second upper surface of the circuit board, is connected in circuit with one of the conductive strips, and is adapted to receive a threaded base or socket of a lamp in providing for the secure mounting thereof upon the circuit board and its electrical connection to a respective first conductive strip. With the lamp thus engaged by a respective mounting spring, its bottom terminal is positioned within an associated circuit board aperture and in contact with a second conductive strip. A single concave, elongated, linear reflector having a plurality of spaced apertures along its length is positioned along the open upper portion of the housing with each aperture adapted to receive a respective lamp inserted therethrough so as to cover the circuit board and to provide a continuous, attractive, high illumination reflecting surface for the lamps. A transparent, snap-acting cover is adapted for secure engagement with the housing along the upper open portion thereof so as to form an enclosed structure within which the reflector, the lights and the circuit board are fixedly disposed.
