Led-based lighting retrofit subassembly apparatus

Abstract

LED-based lighting subassemblies that serve as retrofit apparatus for conventional lighting fixtures, such as fluorescent lighting fixtures. Various retrofit subassemblies need not be configured to resemble and/or directly replace conventional light bulb types. Rather, the retrofit subassemblies may employ a variety of mechanical (and electrical) support configurations to facilitate outfitting a conventional lighting fixture with LED light sources. In some examples, pre-existing conventional lighting fixtures are incorporated as fixed or recessed structures in an architectural environment, and an LED lighting subassembly provides a convenient apparatus for retrofitting such fixtures with light sources having higher energy efficiencies as well as a wider scope of possible light generating capabilities.
