The present invention relates to precise positioning of a reflector unit on a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board includes reference mark(s) provided at predefined relative location(s) and/or orientation(s) with respect to light source(s). The reflector unit includes positioning hole(s) formed at predefined relative location(s) and/or orientation(s) with respect to reflective portion(s). The positioning hole(s) of the reflector unit corresponds to the reference mark(s) of the printed circuit board. The reference mark is properly aligned with the corresponding positioning hole to properly position the reflector unit on the printed circuit board. A detection unit is used to detect, monitor, and verify the alignment between the reference mark and the positioning hole. The proper alignment of the reference mark with the corresponding positioning hole ensures precise relative positioning of the light source with the corresponding reflective portion.
A printed circuit board, comprising:
A sub-assembly for a lighting device, the sub-assembly comprising:
A method of assembling a reflector unit on a printed circuit board, the method comprising:
