Abstract
Lighting modules and methods of manufacturing the same. The lighting module described herein may include a flexible printed circuit board substrate, light emitting diodes mounted on one side of the printed circuit board substrate, and thermally-conductive substrate plates opposite of the light emitting diodes to provide structural support and thermal management.
Claims15
A lighting module comprising:
- a flexible printed circuit board (PCB);
- a plurality of electrical connections on a first side of the flexible PCB;
- a light source operably attached to at least two of the plurality of electrical connections;
- a plurality of thermally-conductive substrate plates that are each operably attached to a second side of the flexible PCB opposite an electrical connection to provide structural support and thermal management;
- a connection mechanism to enable the lighting module to be connected to at least a second lighting module;
- and
- a driver configured to control light output based on the number of connected lighting modules.
4 more elements
A lighting module comprising:
- at least two flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs);
- a thermally-conductive substrate, wherein the at least two flexible PCBs are operably attached to the thermally-conductive substrate on a first side of the substrate;
- and
- a light source operably attached to the substrate on the first side of the substrate and positioned between the at least two flexible PCBs.
1 more element
A method of manufacturing a lighting module, the method comprising:
- providing a flexible printed circuit board (PCB);
- creating a plurality of electrical connections on a first side of the PCB;
- attaching a light emitting diode (LED) to at least two of the plurality of electrical connections on the first side of the PCB;
- operably attaching a plurality thermally-conductive substrate plates to a second side of the flexible PCB, each opposite an electrical connection to provide structural support and thermal management;
- configuring the lighting module with a connection mechanism to enable the lighting module to be connected to at least a second lighting module;
- and
- operably connecting a driver to the lighting module to control light output based on the number of connected lighting modules.
