  • Patent number: 10830425
    Abstract: A lighting device, comprising a power setting unit for setting an electrical power of a light source electrically coupled to the power setting unit, a programmable control unit connected to the power setting unit for controlling the power setting unit, a light control interface unit connected to the control unit for supplying a control signal, and a housing made of an electrically insulating material, which provides a power connection for connecting to an electrical power supply network. The housing encloses at least the power setting unit and the control unit so that they are protected. The control signal is predefinable via the light control interface from outside the housing. The control unit provides a programming interface having at least two contact surfaces for electrically contacting the programming interface and an isolation unit for the programming interface and the housing has a passage opening in a housing wall for each contact.

  • Patent number: 9611983
    Abstract: An LED module includes a first and a second partial chain of LEDs, wherein the LED module has a first input terminal and a second input terminal, via which said LED module is connectable to a light emitting diode module connected upstream or to a voltage source, and wherein the LED module has a first output terminal and a second output terminal, via which the LED module is connectable to a LED module connected downstream, a parallel-connecting terminal, which is connectable to the first input terminal for the purpose of connecting the two partial chains in parallel, wherein a first intermediate terminal connected to an output of the first partial chain and a second intermediate terminal connected to an input of the second partial chain are provided, which are connectable to one another for the purpose of connecting the two partial chains in series.
