Zusammenfassung:Novel arrangements are disclosed that provide for replacement of printed circuit boards useful in regulating current for LEDs. In one embodiment, a conductive track is disclosed that forms a pattern for placement of electrical components. The track can be made out of any suitably conductive material and may be stamped, cut, or formed depending on the material type. The conductive track can conduct both electricity and heat. Portions of the conductive track can be removed creating a gap. Electrical components can be placed along the conductive track spanning the gap to create a circuit path. Other embodiments include wiring harnesses that contain embedded electrical components. The harnesses may occupy less space than some embodiments of the conductive track. An electrical connector may be provided to allow easy replacement of the LED. Se describen disposiciones novedosas que proporcionan la sustitucion de tarjetas de circuito impreso utiles para regular la corriente para los LED. En una modalidad, se describe un surco conductivo que forma un patron para sustitucion de componentes electricos. El surco puede formarse de cualquier material adecuadamente conductivo y puede estamparse, cortarse o formarse dependiendo del tipo de material. El surco conductivo puede conducir electricidad y calor. Pueden removerse las porciones del surco conductivo creando un espacio. Pueden colocarse los componentes electricos a lo largo del surco conductivo que abarca el espacio para crear una trayectoria de circuito otras modalidades incluyen mazos de cable que contienen componentes electricos integrados. Los mazos pueden ocupar menos espacio que algunas modalidades del surco conductivo. Un conector electrico puede proporcionarse para permitir facil restitucion del LED.
