Illuminated stripe and illuminated stripe system

1. An illuminated stripe, which comprises at least one light-emitting light source means for conducting current to the light sources and a casing part, wherein the light sources and/or means for conducting current to the light sources are at least in part surrounded with the casing part,

wherein

at least a part of the casing part comprises a first substance, and

at least a part of the casing part comprises a second substance and

wherein the casing part is formed by exploiting a continuous production process.

2. The illuminated stripe according to claim 1 wherein at least a part of the casing part comprises a third substance which does not contain the first substance and/or second substance.

3. The illuminated stripe according to claim 1 wherein the first substance is a heat transferring substance, which transfers heat away from the light sources and/or other components.

4. The illuminated stripe according claim 1 wherein the second substance is a light-storing substance, which emits light for at least a certain time after the light sources are not in operation, and

the light sources are arranged in connection with the illuminated stripe such that at least a part of the light emitted by the light sources is directed to the casing part.

5. The illuminated stripe according to claim 2 , wherein the heat transferring substance comprises particles of heat transferring material.

6. The illuminated stripe according to claim 3 , wherein the light storing substance comprises particles of light storing material.

7. The illuminated stripe according to claim 5 , wherein the particles are located evenly in the casing part.

8. The illuminated stripe according to claim 5 , wherein particles are located at certain part of the casing part.

9. The illuminated stripe according to claim 1 , wherein the light sources are connected to a circuit board.

10. The illuminated stripe according to claim 1 , wherein the light sources are arranged consecutively and/or adjacently.

11. The illuminated stripe according to claim 1 , wherein the light sources are semiconductor light sources, including LED light sources.

12. The illuminated stripe according to claim 9 , wherein the circuit board is elastic.

13. The illuminated stripe according to claim 1 , wherein the casing part of the illuminated stripe is waterproof.

14. The illuminated stripe according to claim 3 , wherein the heat transferring substance in the casing part is arranged under at least a part of the light sources.

15. The illuminated stripe according to claim 4 , wherein the light-storing substance in the casing part is arranged around at least a part of the light sources.

16. The illuminated stripe according to claim 3 , wherein the heat transferring substance comprises particles which contain carbon, aluminium oxide, ceramics and substances having essentially high thermal conductivity.

17. An illuminated stripe system, which comprises at least one illuminated stripe as defined in claim 1 and at least one control unit,

said control unit being configured to control the light sources of the illuminated stripes by lighting and by extinguishing the light sources in a predetermined manner.

18. The illuminated stripe system according to claim 17 , wherein the control unit is configured to light and to extinguish, one at a time the light sources of one illuminated stripe, in a predetermined manner.

19. The illuminated system according to claim 17 , wherein control information is transmitted to the illuminated stripe wirelessly or by a wireline.

20. The illuminated stripe system according to claim 17 , wherein the illuminated stripe system is controlled by a traffic control system, an emergency exit control system, an evacuation system and a fire alarm system.

21. A method for the production of an illuminated stripe, said illuminated stripe comprising means for conducting current in which several light-emitting light sources are attached to one another in a longitudinal direction, in a casing part, wherein the illuminated stripe is produced by the following steps:

arranging the light sources and the means for conducting current to the light sources in a casing material, wherein the casing material is formed by a continuous extrusion process over the light sources and the means for conducting current to the light sources, whereby the means for conducting current to the light sources continues essentially uninterruptedly over the entire length of the illuminated stripe, wherein the casing material is a plastic material selected from the group consisting of PVC, polyurethane, and an olefin, wherein:

adding a first substance to at least a part of the casing material, and

adding a second substance to at least a part of the casing material.

22. The method for the production of an illuminated stripe according to claim 21 wherein a third substance is added to at least a part of the casing material which does not contain the first and/or second substance, and

wherein the third substance is neither the first substance nor the second substance.

23. The method for the production of the illuminated stripe according to claim 21 wherein the first substance is a heat transferring substance which is arranged such that it transfers heat away from the light sources and other components.

24. The method for the production of an illuminated stripe according to claim 21 wherein the second substance is a light storing substance, and the light sources and the light storing substances are arranged in connection with the illuminated stripe such that at least a part of the light emitted by the light sources is directed to the casing part, illuminating the light storing substance.

25. The method for the production of an illuminated stripe according to claim 21 wherein the casing part is formed by extruding at least two different materials, and wherein one of the materials comprises the first substance and the other material comprises the second substance.
