Lighting device comprising a sealing gasket

摘要

A lighting device (10) for mounting on a mounting surface (S) includes:
- a planar solid state lighting module (12), for example of the LED type, having a light emitting region (12b) and peripheral holes (12c) for fixing members (18) to the mounting surface (S) to extend therethrough,
- a peripheral gasket (14) extending along the periphery of the lighting module (12); the gasket (14) having, at the holes (12c) of the lighting module, ear-like extensions (14a) having a perforation (14b) therein, said ear-like extensions (14a) extending inwardly of the gasket (14) to align the perforations (14b) therein with the holes (12c) in the lighting module (12),
- a housing (16) which frames the lighting device (12) with the gasket (14) applied onto the lighting module (12). The housing (16) has apertures aligned with the holes (12c) in the lighting module (12) and the perforations (14b) in the ear-like extensions of the gasket (14), as well as a window (16a) to expose the light emitting region (12b) of the lighting module (12), with a light permeable screen (20) which sealingly closes said window (16a).
