Lighting assembly and light module for same

A light module removably coupleable to a light fixture, the light module comprising:

• an LED lighting element;
• a mounting base, the LED lighting element mounted on the mounting base;
• a housing operatively coupled to the mounting base;
• and
• one or more resilient members that operatively couple the mounting base to the housing and allow the mounting base and housing to resiliently move relative to each other,
• wherein the resilient members compress when the light module is removably coupled to the light fixture to exert a generally axial force on the mounting base to drive the mounting base into resilient contact with a surface of the light fixture to provide a thermal coupling between the light module and the light fixture.

A lighting assembly comprising:

• a light fixture comprising thermally conductive housing defining a mounting interface surface;
• and
• a light module removably mountable to the light fixture, the light module comprising:
• an LED lighting element mounted on a mounting base;
• a light module housing operatively coupled to the mounting base;
• and
• one or more resilient members operatively coupled to the light module housing that resiliently couple the light module housing to the light fixture when the light module is coupled to the light fixture,
• wherein the resilient members compress when the light module is removably coupled to the light fixture to exert a force on the mounting base that drives the mounting base into thermal communication with the mounting interface surface of the light fixture to provide a thermal connection therebetween to dissipate heat from the LED lighting element through the mounting base and thermally conductive housing.

A lighting assembly, comprising:

• a light module comprising an LED lighting element;
• a light fixture comprising a generally cylindrical recess that removably receives at least a portion of the light module when coupling the light module to the light fixture, wherein at least a portion of the light module is axially introduced into the cylindrical recess;
• and
• one or more resilient members configured to compress when the light module is removably coupled to the light fixture to exert a generally axial force on at least a portion of the light module to resiliently drive at least a portion of the light module into resilient contact with a surface of the light fixture to thereby thermally couple at least a portion of the light module to the light fixture.
