Description
- The present invention relates to a light emitting diode module, comprising a housing having at least a first housing portion having a substantially circular outline, a support plate which is housed within the housing and on which a plurality of light emitting diodes are arranged, a control unit for driving the light emitting diodes within housed in the housing, means for fixed attachment of the light emitting diode module in a lamp, and at least two electrical connection cables which are connected to the control unit and connectable to an electrical supply device. Moreover, the present invention relates to a luminaire with at least one light-emitting diode module.
- Lamps and light modules based on one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs) have enjoyed steadily growing popularity in recent years. One of the most important reasons for this development is that light-emitting diodes have a low energy consumption in comparison to other lamps known from the prior art and thereby provide effective light outputs that are comparable to and sometimes even exceed the light output of conventional lamps. In addition, light emitting diodes are distinguished by very long lifetimes compared to other light sources.
- A disadvantage of the known light-emitting diode modules or the luminaires equipped therewith is that it is not possible for an additional luminaire component, such as a glass, a reflector, a luminaire attachment, a decorative element a Heatsink or the like to attach easily to the light-emitting diode module in a simple manner.
- The object of the present invention is to provide a light-emitting diode module and a luminaire of the type mentioned at the outset, which enable easy and uncomplicated mounting of an additional (non-electric) luminaire component on the light-emitting diode module.
- The solution to this problem provides a light-emitting diode module of the type mentioned above with the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.

The possibility of direct wiring by means of the connection cable allows easy connection of the light-emitting diode module to an electrical supply device. In order to operate the light-emitting diode module according to the invention in a luminaire, the luminaire requires no special due to the direct wiring Bulb holder into which the light-emitting diode module must be screwed or plugged. By dispensing with the light-emitting device equipped with at least one such light emitting module light can be made more compact, since the height of the space, which is to be provided for receiving the at least one light emitting diode module can be reduced in an advantageous manner.

By this measure, a secure hold of the clamp on the light emitting diode module can be achieved via screw. In order to be able to secure the mounting means particularly effectively in a one-piece embodiment of the housing made of a ceramic material, it is proposed in a particularly advantageous embodiment that the light-emitting diode module comprises at least one engagement element preferably made of plastic, which is arranged inside the housing and into the housing the at least one mounting means, in particular the at least one mounting screw, inserted into the corresponding receiving opening can engage in sections. By at least partially, preferably intersecting, engagement of the at least one mounting means (for example, the mounting screw) in the engagement element a secure hold of the light emitting diode module is effected on the clamping bracket.

By appropriate design of the lamp cover targeted visual accents can be set. Preferably, the luminaire cover can be non-positively, positively or materially connected to the annular flange of the housing.
- In a preferred embodiment, there is the possibility that the clamping bracket has a planar holding section, on which the light-emitting diode module is mounted. Preferably, the planar holding portion may have a first bore and a second bore through which one of the two mounting screws is passed.
- In a particularly preferred embodiment, it is proposed that the clamping bow is executed bent in sections and has two resilient, opposing clamping portions, which are designed so that they can fix the light emitting diode module during assembly to an inner edge of the mounting opening by clamping. This is an intuitive installation of the light emitting diode module in the mounting opening, which at the same time provides a secure hold of the light-emitting diode module in the mounting opening.
- Due to the direct wiring of the at least one light-emitting diode module with the electrical supply device, the luminaires according to the invention do not require any light-emitting means. By dispensing with the lamp holder, the lights can be made more compact, since the height of the space, which is to be provided for receiving the at least one light-emitting diode module, can be reduced in an advantageous manner.

In this case, there is the possibility that the luminaire component, which can be attached to the outside of the first housing section 20 of the housing 2, has an internal thread which corresponds to the external thread 20 'of the housing 2. Alternatively, the luminaire component can also be fastened to the external thread 20 'of the housing 2 by means of a screw ring which has an internal thread.
