US Patent 11506347 LED strip and method for manufacturing a LED strip

A LED strip having LED chips and a strip to which the LED chips are fixed and which also functions as a support structure of conductors coupled with the LED chips, and a tube manufactured from an elastic and at least partly light-transmitting material and surrounding the strip with the LED chips. At the outer surface of the tube there is a fixing element which is in essential parts of the same material as the tube. The LED strip includes a thermal conduction part which is of a material different from the tube and which, in the cross-section of the LED strip, is directed outwards from the inner surface of the tube for conducting waste heat generated in the LED chips out from the tube.
