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.

A strip of a flexible plastic has a transparent cover surface which permits passage of light and an opposed bottom surface and sides which are opaque to passage of light. A series of spaced apart light emitting diodes are positioned on the top surface in electrical contact with a pair of spaced apart, generally parallel electrical wires running along the length of the top surface and individual electric bulbs are positioned on top of each light emitting diode. When electric current flows through the electrical wires, light is transmitted from each light emitting diode through each bulb and out in a unidirectional manner.
