## Abstract

Described is an arrangement and system for precise angular and directional positioning of light-emitting diodes (LED). An LED component includes a base body with a light-emitting region, a first connector, and a second connector, where the connectors are electrically conductively connected to the light-emitting region. The base body includes at least two fixing regions and the connectors each include a bending portion and a contact area for surface mounting. Each of the bending portions is arranged between the base body and the contact area. A supporting frame includes a plinth region to align the supporting frame on a surface and includes an outwardly open recess, a support region to receive a component in the supporting frame and at least two fixing elements to fix the component above the support region. A base area of the plinth region and a base area of the support region enclose an acute angle.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A light-emitting system, comprising:
an LED component comprising:
a base body having a light-emitting region and comprising at least two fixing regions;
a first connector comprising a bending portion and a contact area configured for surface mounting, wherein the bending portion of the first connector is arranged between the base body and the contact area of the first connector;
a second connector comprising a bending portion and a contact area configured for surface mounting, wherein the bending portion of the second connector is arranged between the base body and the contact area of the second connector;
wherein the first connector and the second connector are electrically conductively connected to the light-emitting region;
a supporting frame comprising:
a plinth region which is configured to align the supporting frame on a surface, wherein the plinth region comprises an outwardly open recess;
a support region which is configured to receive a component in the supporting frame; and
at least two fixing elements which are configured to fix the component above the support region,
wherein a base area of the plinth region and a base area of the support region enclose an acute angle; and
a circuit carrier,
wherein the base body of the LED component rests on the support region of the supporting frame,
wherein the base body of the LED component is fixed above the support region in the region of the at least two fixing regions by the fixing elements of the supporting frame,
wherein the first connector and the second connector of the LED component are arranged at least in sections inside the recess in the plinth region of the supporting frame, and
wherein the LED component and the supporting frame are arranged on the circuit carrier.
