  • Patent number: 8587001
    Abstract: An LED light module free of jumper wires has a substrate and multiple LED chips. The substrate has a positive side circuit, a negative side circuit, multiple first chip connection portions and multiple second connection portions. The first and second chip connection portions are respectively connected to the positive and negative side circuits, and are juxtaposedly and alternately arranged on the substrate so that a width between each first chip connection portion and a corresponding second chip connection portion is smaller than a width of each LED chip. Each LED chip can be directly mounted on corresponding first and second chip connection portions to electrically connect to the positive and negative side circuits. Accordingly, jumper wires for connecting the LED chips and the positive and negative side circuits can be removed to avoid broken jumper wires occurring when the LED light module is shipped or assembled.
