System comprising a light-emitting
diode strip (1) and a connecting element (2, 16), wherein the light-emitting
diode strip (1) has an elongated, channel-shaped profile (8) with a bottom wall (12) having a bottom surface (14) and side walls (11) extending laterally from the bottom wall (12) and each having a top surface (15), and an inner recess (19) formed between the bottom wall (12) and the side walls (11), and has an elongated light-emitting
diode strip (5) arranged in the inner recess (19), wherein the light-emitting diode strip (5) has a plurality of light-emitting diodes (9) arranged in the longitudinal direction of the light-emitting diode strip (5), and elongated contacting means (6, 30) are arranged on both sides of the longitudinal direction of the light-emitting diode strip (5) in the inner recess (19), which are configured to supply the light-emitting diodes (9) with electrical energy, and the inner recess (19) is provided with
potting compound (7),wherein the connecting element (2, 16) has at least one contact means (23) which is configured for mechanical or mechanical and electrical contact with the contacting means (6, 30), and the connecting element (2, 16) has a base body (17) which has side edges (21) with a longitudinal extent and a lateral extent, and the base body (17) is provided with at least one recess (22) extending through the base body (17) which is configured for the passage of the contact means (23), characterized in that the base body (17) has a planar form with an upper (18) and a lower (20)
body surface.
