The support cover ( 20 ) may be wall paper, and carpet, PVC flooring, linoleum flooring and plaster. At a position ( 1 ) between the support ( 30 ) and the support cover ( 20 ) a lighting unit ( 10 ) is configured to provide light ( 15 ) through the support cover ( 20 ). The support cover ( 20 ) and the support ( 30 ) are adhesively bonded to each other. The lighting unit ( 10 ) is releasably bonded to at least one of the support ( 30 ) and the support cover ( 20 ) via a release liner unit ( 40 ). The release liner unit ( 40 ) comprises a release liner ( 141 ) for releasable binding.
