Linear LED light module

摘要

A linear light emitting diode (“LED”) light fixture includes LED modules that interface with one another to provide a substantially continuous array of LED's. This continuous array allows for substantially uniform light output from the LED light fixture. The LED modules can interface with one another via one or more connectors, which allow two or more LED modules to be electrically and mechanically coupled together. The connectors may be disposed beneath the LED's so that the connectors are not visible when the LED modules are coupled together. The connectors may be disposed along opposite ends of the modules to allow for end-to-end configurations of the modules and/or along side ends of the modules to allow for angled or curved configurations of the modules. The LED modules can be powered via one or more wires, magnets, or clips, which are coupled to a power source.

主权项

1. A light emitting diode (“LED”) assembly, comprising:
a first LED module comprising:
a first plurality of LEDs; anda first substrate upon which the first plurality of LEDs are disposed, wherein the first substrate comprises a first wire receiver disposed at a distal end of the first substrate; a second LED module coupled to the first LED module, wherein the second LED module comprises:
a second plurality of LEDs; anda second substrate upon which the second plurality of LEDs are disposed, wherein the second substrate comprises a second wire receiver disposed at a proximal end of the second substrate; an electrically conductive first wire having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the first wire is removably coupled to the first wire receiver of the first LED module, and wherein the second end of the first wire is removably coupled to the second wire receiver of the second LED module; a member upon which the first LED module and the second LED module are disposed; a mounting plate comprising a first opening and a second opening; and at least one spring clip coupled to the mounting plate and the member, wherein the at least one spring clip extends through the first opening in the mounting plate, and wherein the at least one spring clip comprises first opposing ends that engage the member.
