Light emitting module
First Claim
1. A light emitting module being operationally disposed between two electrical conducting wires wherein each electrical conducting wire has selected insulated portions disposed thereabout, comprising:
- a) a first heat-sink bounded by a perimeter, said first heat-sink adjacently spaced to a second heat-sink bounded by a perimeter, each said heat-sink having a facing perimeter edge;
b) said first heat-sink being connectively suspended between the selected insulated portions of the two electrical conducting wires;
c) means for electrically connecting said first heat-sink to the first electrical conducting wire;
d) said second heat-sink being connectively suspended between the selected insulated portions of the two electrical conducting wires;
e) means for electrically connecting said second heat-sink to the second electrical conducting wire; and
f) a selected light emitter operationally connected between said first and said second heat-sinks.

Abstract
A light-emitting module structurally suspended between a pair of spaced apart electrical conducting wires wherein each of the wires has selected portions that are electrically insulated from the module. The light emitting module, in concert with the electrical conducting wires, provides structural support for the light emitter portion of the light emitting module via the connections to the insulated and non-insulated portions of the electrical conducting wires. A plurality of light emitting modules may be ganged together in series, parallel or series-parallel electrical configurations to produce chains of light emitting modules. The chains of light emitting modules produce selected or desired illumination depending on the quantity of light emitting modules being ganged together.
