Lighting device

Disclosed is a lighting device with a three-wire Conductor strip (2) connected in series one behind the other in the axial direction with arranged LED elements (3) is electrically conductively connected, wherein each LED element (3) by an also the conductor strips (2) in the amount of each LED element (3) surrounding, at least in regions translucent Plastic housing (4) is accommodated. It is the plastic housing (4) consists of two shells (9, 10), one of which as a receiving shell for receiving an LED element (3), an axial conductor strip area and electrically conductive contact means and the other shell is provided as a cover shell, which with the inclusion of sealing means on the first shell is fixed, and that the three-wire conductor strip (2) a continuous positive conductor (5), a continuous negative conductor (6) and a extending discontinuous, from LED element (3) to LED element (3) Center conductor (7).
