  • Patent number: 10480722
    Abstract: A retrofit lamp comprises a heat sink, a light source module with a circuit board, whose rear side lies two-dimensionally on the heat sink and at the front side of which at least one semiconductor light source is arranged, and a ring partially covering the front side of the light source module, wherein the ring presses the light source module onto the heat sink. A method serves for producing a retrofit lamp, wherein the rear side of the circuit board of the light source module is laid on the heat sink and the ring is put on the retrofit lamp from the front such that it presses the light source module onto the heat sink. The invention is particularly applicable to LED retrofit lamps for replacing conventional light bulbs or halogen lamps.

  • Patent number: 7341469
    Abstract: An adapter for providing a recessed lamp in a screw-type lampholder. This adapter has an electrical contact-making device, via which an electrical connection is produced between a screw base, which can be introduced into the screw-type lampholder, of the adapter and the recessed lamp once the recessed lamp has been introduced into the adapter. Furthermore, the adapter has a switchable electrical connecting device, via which, in the state in which there is no mechanical connection between an enveloping bulb for the recessed lamp and the adapter, an electrical connection is not produced between the screw base and the recessed lamp, and via which, in the state in which the recessed lamp is surrounded, at least in sections, by the enveloping bulb, an electrical connection is produced between the screw base and the recessed lamp. As a result, the recessed lamp in the adapter can only be operated with the enveloping bulb placed thereon.
