Abstract: Various embodiments of a compression activated switch device for holding light emitting packages are provided. The device includes an electrical switch configured to operatively couple between a light emitting package and a power source. The light emitting package includes a light emitting element on a support, the electrical switch biased to an open position from a closed position. The compression activated switch also includes a coupling component configured to couple the light emitting package to a structure and a biasing element biasing against coupling the light emitting package to the structure with a predetermined force, wherein in response to a force being applied to the coupling component sufficient to overcome the predetermined force the electric switch moves to the closed position. Visual or audible feedback may be provided upon the application of the predetermined amount of force.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the solid-state lighting apparatus includes a solid-state light source. The solid-state light source may include a first side and a second side opposite the first side, with the first side including at least one solid-state lighting element. The solid-state lighting apparatus may also include a junction box. The junction box may be positioned at least partially above the solid-state light source, proximate the second side of the solid-state light source. The solid-state lighting apparatus may further include a heat sink. The heat sink may be coupled to the junction box and thermally coupled to the solid-state light source.
