A housing and mounting system for a strip lighting device, particularly a lighting device of the kind in which multiple light emitting diode (LED) light sources are arranged at spaced intervals within an elongate tubular housing that is translucent and arranged to diffuse, disperse or scatter the light from the LED light sources. The tubular housing has two longitudinally extending keys integrally formed on the exterior of the tube. The interior of the tube has longitudinally extending formations for supporting mounted LED light sources within the tube.
