Lighting device

Described is a lighting device with a three-wire conductor strip (2) which is electrically connected in the axial direction with in series successively arranged LED elements (3), wherein each LED element (3) of one and the conductor strip (2) in height of each LED element (3) surrounding, at least partially translucent plastic housing (4) is added. In this case, the plastic housing (4) consists of two shells (9, 10), one of which is provided as a receiving tray for receiving an LED element (3), an axial conductor strip area and electrically conductive contact means and the other shell as a cover shell, the is defined with the inclusion of sealant on the first shell, and that the three-conductor conductor strip (2) has a continuous positive conductor (5),
