Patent ID: 8783938

Claim:
A lighting assembly, comprising: a socket attachable to a heat dissipating member, said socket comprising one or more electrical contact elements accessed via one or more openings in the socket, said one or more openings extending along at least a portion of a circumference of the socket; and an LED light module removably coupleable to the socket, comprising: an LED lighting element; and one or more electrical contact members configured to extend into the one or more openings in the socket to releasably contact the one or more electrical contact elements of the socket when the LED light module is coupled to the socket, said LED light module electrical contact members configured such that they will establish an operative electrical connection with the socket; and one or more resilient members of the LED light module or socket configured to apply a force between the LED light module and a least a portion or an element of the heat dissipating member when the LED light module is axially inserted at least partially into the socket such that the one or more electrical contact members extend into the one or more openings and when the LED light module is rotated relative to the socket, following said axial insertion, such that the one or more electrical contact members move along the one or more openings to thereby contact the one or more electrical contact elements of the socket.
