Abstract

exhibiting system features: - at least two profile rails (1) and - a connecting element (10) for connecting the at least two profile rails (1), - wherein each of the profile rails (1) has a bottom wall (2) and two side walls (3a, 3b) extending from the bottom wall (2) on opposite sides, and is designed for the positive and / or force-fit reception of at least one lighting module (7) in a receiving space (4) bounded by the bottom wall (2) and the side walls (3a, 3b), characterized in that - the profile rails (1) in the side walls (3a, 3b) each have several rectangular recesses (8) extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis (L), which are designed on the one hand to accommodate cable ties for fastening cables, and on the other hand to serve as a snap-in recess for the respective light module (7) and for the connecting element (10), - and wherein the connecting element (10) is designed as a U-shaped profile rail consisting of a bottom wall (11) and two side walls (12a, 12b) extending from the bottom wall (11) on opposite sides and having locking elements (14) arranged in a regular longitudinal pattern for locking with the recesses (8) of the profile rails (1) received therein.
