Lighting system with removable light modules

A lighting system with removable light modules comprising:

• (a) a frame having a substantially flat surface, said frame including a magnetic material and first and second electrically conductive channels mounted on said surface such that said channels are electrically isolated from each other;
• (b) a light module comprising an LED light source having sufficient lumen output for use in general lighting applications mounted on a base, said base having a top surface and a substantially flat bottom surface with a dielectric coating covering said top and bottom surfaces and a magnetic material between said top and bottom surfaces, first and second electrically conductive paths mounted on said top dielectric surface such that said paths are electrically isolated from each other, said LED light source having first and second electrically conductive lead-in wires electrically connected to said first and second paths, respectively, and said magnetic material of said base and said magnetic material of such frame providing adequate heat-sink means for the thermal operating requirements of said LED light source;
• and
• (c) said light module being mounted on said frame with said substantially flat bottom surface of said light module facing said substantially flat surface of said frame, said first path of said light module being in electrical contact with said first channel of said frame and electrically isolated from said second channel, said second path of said light module being in electrical contact with said second channel of said frame and electrically isolated from said first channel, said light module being securely mounted on said frame by means of a magnetic attractive force acting between said magnetic material of said light module and said magnetic material of said frame and such that said magnetic attractive force permits said light module to be manually removed from said frame.
