  • LED lighting module
    Patent number: 7806575
    Abstract: The invention describes an LED lighting module (1) comprising an LED element (10), an electronic driving arrangement (30) for driving the LED (11), and a heat sink (20). The heat sink (20) forms a casing for the electronic driving arrangement (30) and comprises a receptacle interface (26) on a front side (F) of the heat sink (20) with a number of first reference elements (27) for coupling the LED element (10) to the heat sink (20) in a defined orientation. The heat sink further comprises a cavity (28) for enclosing at least parts of the electronic driving arrangement (30) and a number of second reference elements (22) for coupling the LED light module (10) to a secondary optic (70,70?). Moreover the invention describes a lighting assembly (80, 80?) comprising such an LED lighting module (1).
