LED module and assembly

An LED light module assembly for direct attachment to an electrical junction box having an opening, comprising:

• an LED driver wired to a printed circuit board to energize at least one LED, the at least one LED being disposed on the printed circuit board;
• a mounting plate having a top surface and a bottom surface, the mounting plate including a thermally conductive material, wherein the printed circuit board directly abuts the bottom surface of the mounting plate for thermal conduction therebetween, wherein the top surface of the mounting plate directly abuts with the junction box at least partially covering the opening, and wherein the mounting plate functions as a heat sink;
• a retainer means disposed on the mounting plate;
• and
• a detachable trim ring engaging the retainer means such that there is an air gap between the bottom surface of the mounting plate and the trim ring to enable thermal cooling therethrough.

An LED light module assembly for direct attachment to an electrical junction box having an opening, comprising:

• an LED driver wired to a printed circuit board to energize a plurality of LEDs;
• a flat, disk shaped mounting plate with a top surface and a bottom surface, the mounting plate including a thermally conductive material;
• wherein the printed circuit board directly abuts the bottom surface of the mounting plate for thermal conduction therebetween;
• wherein an overall size of the printed circuit board is smaller than an overall size of the mounting plate such that the mounting plate has greater surface area uncovered by the printed circuit board;
• wherein the top surface of the mounting plate directly engages with the junction box covering the opening;
• a retainer means disposed on the mounting plate;
• and
• a rigid, protective LED cover made of light transmissible material engaging the mounting plate, overlying the plurality of LEDs.
