Patent ID: 7810955

Claim:
An elongate linear light emitting diode (LED) module comprising: a heat sink elongated in an axial direction along a longitudinal axis that is parallel with a greatest dimension of the heat sink; a printed circuit board (PCB) in thermal communication with the heat sink and including circuitry; a plurality of LEDs mounted to the PCB and in electrical communication with circuitry of the PCB, the LEDs being spaced from one another in the axial direction; a power supply housing connected to the heat sink; a flexible electrical conductor including at least two wires and configured to accommodate an AC line voltage of at least 120 VAC; a first electrical connector at a first end of the electrical conductor; a second electrical connector at a second end of the electrical conductor, the second connector having a configuration that complements the first connector so that the second connector can connect to an associated adjacent first connector of an associated adjacent LED module to allow a plurality of similar LED modules to be mechanically and electrically connected to one another; a power supply disposed in the power supply housing and in electrical communication with the circuitry of the PCB and the electrical conductor, the power supply configured to receive the AC line voltage from the electrical conductor and to convert the received AC line voltage to a lower DC voltage for delivery to the circuitry of the PCB to drive the LEDs mounted on the PCB; and elongate barbs extending in the axial direction disposed on opposite sides of the power supply housing, the barbs being configured to engage an associated channel for mounting the LED module.
