US 8,552,630 B2 · Lighting fixture with replaceable light source

Abstract

A LED illuminator includes positive and negative electrodes of different configurations and a LED lamp with a plurality of the LED illuminators. The LED lamp includes two or more elastic jacks, in each of which a positive electrode or a negative electrode is arranged. The elastic jack has a positive connection point and a negative connection point respectively corresponding to distal and proximal ends of the positive electrode or the negative electrode inserted therein so that the LED lamp is in electrical connection with a power supply unit. In addition, the LED illuminators may be in parallel connection. Accordingly, a slight touch of the LED illuminator allows the illuminator to be inserted into or removed from the respective elastic jack when replacing the LED illuminators of the lamp.
