The present invention provides a lighting apparatus for strip lighting on floors, walls or the like, which lies flush with the adjacent surfaces or protrudes only slightly therefrom. The lighting apparatus comprises a strip containing electrical conductors in side by side relationship. The conductors are sheathed in insulating material, and individual lighting units make electrical contact therewith in that the units, each carrying a miniature bulb have electrical conduction connector spikes which pierce the insulating sheath and contact the electrical conductors. The individual units can easily be positioned and removed. Each unit comprises a support plate and a miniature light source, and the miniature light source can readily be removed from the support plate and replaced by another. The particular construction simplfies installation and replacement of burnt out light sources.
