Patent ID: 7665861

Claim:
An LED module for an illumination system, the LED module comprising: a carrier plate embedded in a transparent plastics material; a plurality of light-emitting diodes arranged on the carrier plate; and an electronic control device mounted on the carrier plate for driving the plurality of light-emitting diodes; a housing surrounding the light-emitting diodes and having a housing surface remote from the light-emitting diodes; and an optical system integrally formed on the housing surface, the optical system having a beam-shaping or beam-deflecting contour that is not present on a remaining portion of the housing surface, wherein the plurality of light-emitting diodes and the electronic control device are mounted onto a same common surface of the carrier plate, wherein the carrier plate has at least one electrical connecting device for electrical connection of the LED module, and a fastening device for fastening the LED module in the illumination system, the electrical connecting device comprising more than two contacts, wherein individual ones of the light-emitting diodes or groups of the light-emitting diodes can be driven separately, wherein the electrical connecting device has an electric contact and a mechanical connection device such that the LED module is connectable to an electric plug-in connector via the electrical connecting device, and wherein the electric contact device and the mechanical connection device of the electrical connecting device are formed by a plug-in connector that is connected to the carrier plate via a cable connection.
