Abstract:
1. An illumination device, comprising: a connection carrier, which has a first main area and a second main area remote from the first main area, at least one light-emitting diode fixed on the first main area of the connection carrier, an electrically insulating layer, which is fitted to the second main area of the connection carrier and projects laterally beyond the second main area of the connection carrier, and a fixing means suitable for fixing the illumination device to a mounting area of a support carrier, wherein the electrically insulating layer is arranged between the second main area of the connection carrier and the mounting area of the support carrier, wherein the fixing means presses the connection carrier against the mounting area of the support carrier and the pressure exerted in this way is used to effect a fixing of the electrically insulating layer between the second main area of the connection carrier and the mounting area of the support carrier, and wherein the fixing means is connected to an optical element, which optically influences the light generated by the light-emitting diode during operation.
