Illumination system
First Claim
1. A modular illumination system comprising:
- at least one mounting strip;
one or more emitter strips each having an outwardly directed face in use through which infrared light may be transmitted;
one or more printed circuit boards (PCBs) each carrying a plurality of infra red light emitting diodes (IR LEDs);
and one or more contact elements;
wherein the or each emitter strip is adapted to interconnect with a said mounting strip to form a conduit through which a power supply bus may be carried and wherein the or each contact element is adapted to complete an electrical connection between the power supply bus and a printed circuit board mounted behind the outwardly directed face of the emitter strip.

Abstract
The invention comprises a modular illumination system comprising at least one mounting strip; one or more emitter strips each having an outwardly directed face in use through which infra red light may be transmitted; one or more printed circuit boards each carrying a plurality of infra red light emitting diodes; and one or more contact elements. The system is such that the or each emitter strip can interconnect with a mounting strip to form a conduit through which a power supply bus may be carried. Each contact element is adapted to complete an electrical connection between the power supply bus and a printed circuit board mounted behind the outwardly directed face of the emitter strip. The system is easily assembled and is advantageously used to provide a source of covert illumination for security or other monitoring purposes.
