| Title: |
Modular Mounting Arrangement and Method For Light Emitting Diodes |
| Abstract: |
A modular light emitting diode (LED) mounting configuration is provided
including a light source module having a plurality of pre-packaged LEDs
arranged in a serial array. The module includes a heat conductive body
portion adapted to conduct heat generated by the LEDs to an adjacent heat
sink. A heat conductive adhesive tape connects the LED module to the mount
surface. As a result, the LEDs are able to be operated with a higher
current than normally allowed. Thus, brightness and performance of the
LEDs is increased without decreasing the life expectancy of the LEDs. A
plurality of such LED modules can be pre-wired together in a substantially
continuous fashion and provided in a dispenser, such as a roll or box.
Thus, to install a plurality of such LED modules, a worker simply pulls
modules from the dispenser as needed, secures the appropriate number of
modules in place, and connects the assembled modules to a power source.
