The present invention relates to a lighting unit (100, 300), comprising a first housing portion (102, 302) having a combined mechanical and electrical connection element (104, 304), a second housing portion (106, 306) having a combined mechanical and electrical connection element (108, 308), a light source (110) attached to at least one of the first and the second housing portion (102, 302; 106, 306), and an electrical wire (112) at each end electrically connected to the first and the second housing portions (102, 302; 106, 306), respectively. Each of the combined mechanical and electrical connection elements (104, 304; 108, 308) of the first and the second housing portion (102, 302; 106, 306) have a cut-out (114, 116) adapted for embracing a portion of a fastening element (310) for allowing mounting of the lighting unit (100, 300), as well as allowing for connection with a combined mechanical and electrical connection element of a corresponding housing portion of another lighting unit. The invention provides increased flexibility, as it may be possible to provide individual lighting units that may be connected together, by means of matching interconnectable modular components. |
