Abstract:
1. A lighting assembly, comprising: a linear light module comprising one or more LED light elements, a length of the light module being greater than a width of the light module the linear light module having one or more locking members on side surfaces thereof, wherein the side surfaces face in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the linear light module; and an elongate socket removably coupleable to a heat dissipating member, the elongate socket having a socket body that defines a peripheral opening configured to removably receive the linear light module therein so that the side surfaces of the linear light module face inner side surfaces of the socket body when the linear light module is installed in the elongate socket, the elongate socket comprising a locking mechanism housed in one or more side walls of the socket body and having one or more locking elements that align with the one or more locking members of the linear light module when the linear light module is installed in the elongate socket, the locking mechanism manually actuatable by a user via one or more levers movably coupled to the socket body so that the one or more locking elements releasably and resiliently couple to the one or more locking members to lock the linear light module in the socket.
