主权项

1. A method of upgrading an illumination device disposed at least partially within a recessed-can lighting fixture, the fixture being associated with an outlet electrically connected to a source of power, the method comprising:
connecting to the outlet a discrete driver module comprising (i) circuitry for supplying power to and controlling at least one light-emitting diode and (ii) a connector compatible with the outlet; and after connecting the driver module to the outlet, mounting within the recessed-can fixture a discrete lighting module configured to operatively couple the driver module to at least one light-emitting diode; and electrically connecting the lighting module to the driver module such that the lighting module is electrically connected to and otherwise physically separate from the driver module.
