Abstract:
1. A lighting assembly, comprising: a light fixture; a light module comprising an LED lighting element and removably coupleable to the light fixture; and one or more resilient members configured to generate a compression force when the light module is removably coupled to the light fixture to thereby exert a generally axial force on at least a portion of the light module to resiliently maintain at least a planar central bottom surface of the light module in resilient contact with a surface of the light fixture or socket of the light fixture to thereby resiliently couple at least a portion of the light module to the light fixture or socket of the light fixture, wherein one or both of the light module and light fixture comprises one or more engaging members that extend radially from a circumferential surface thereof, and wherein one or both of the light module and the light fixture comprises one or more slots configured to removably receive the one or more engaging members therein when coupling the light module to the light fixture.
