Abstract: A direct view LED lamp (10) comprising: a heat sink body (12) having a longitudinal axis (14) and a wall (16) having an exterior (18) and an interior (20). A cavity (22) is formed in the interior (20) and is defined by a circumferential side wall (24) and a back wall (26). A circuit board (28) is positioned in the cavity (22) adjacent the back wall (26). At least one LED (30) is mounted on the circuit board (28) facing in an axial direction parallel to the longitudinal axis (14) and away from the circuit board (28). An optical light guide (32) is positioned adjacent the at least one LED (30). A housing (42) spans the cavity (22) and has a coupling face (44) to mate with the heat sink body (12).

Abstract: A solid-state lighting system (10) has a carrier (12 or 12a) having at least two electrically conductive traces (14, 16) thereon; and at least one module (18) carrying at least one solid-state light source (20) mounted with the carrier. The module (18) has electrical conductors (22, 24) in contact with the electrically conductive traces (14, 16) on the carrier. The carrier (12 or 12a) is elongated and the at least one module (18) has a horizontal aperture (26) therethrough with the electrical conductors (22, 24) extending at least into the aperture. The module (18) is slidably mounted upon the carrier (12 or 12a) with the carrier penetrating the horizontal aperture (26) and the electrical conductors (22, 24) in engagement with the electrical traces (14, 16).
