Abstract:
1. An LED light module removably coupleable to a receiving lighting assembly, comprising: an LED lighting element; one or more resilient members configured to generate a compression force when the LED light module is installed in the receiving lighting assembly to maintain a compressive contact force between the LED light module and at least one of the one or more thermally conductive surfaces of the receiving lighting assembly; and one or more electrical contact members of the LED light module configured to extend through one or more openings in a socket to releasably contact one or more electrical contact elements of the socket of the receiving lighting assembly when the LED light module is installed in the lighting assembly, the electrical contact elements being disposed in the socket so as to inhibit inadvertent human contact with the electrical contact elements, said LED light module electrical contact members configured to maintain an operative electrical connection with the electrical contact elements while the LED light module is rotated relative to the socket to releasably lock the LED light module to the socket.
