Patent attributes
A lighting system has at least one channel for receiving at least one light unit that can be inserted into the channel, and at least one connector that can be inserted into the channel. The channel has, in an inner region thereof, a busbar for supplying the light unit, which can be electrically coupled to the busbar, with power. The connector is designed to electrically couple busbar portions of the busbar to one another. Furthermore, the connector is designed to be mechanically coupled to portions of the channel. The channel and the connector are further designed such that, when inserted in the channel, the light unit can be arranged so as to overlap the connector, inserted into the channel in order to couple the busbar portions, within the channel.
