  • Patent number: 9470391
    Abstract: An LED light source module is disclosed, which can replace a halogen bulb. The LED light source module includes an LED light source, a heat sink, an electric fan unit, a driver circuit, and an attachment, and all of these constituent elements are integrated. A structure of the attachment is the same as that of an attachment of a halogen bulb generally used as a light source of a lighting apparatus for a vehicle. The LED light source module can replace a halogen bulb. When the LED light source module needs replacement, unlike the conventional LED head light where the whole lamp main body is replaced, only the LED light source module can be replaced.
