A device for securing a LED light source module against a mounting surface comprising:
- a module housing arranged to mount the LED light source module in an installed position against the mounting surface, wherein the module housing comprises a metal component having a thickness, wherein a substantial portion of the module housing extends above the LED light source module no greater than the thickness of the metal component, and wherein the module housing has a first engagement feature;
- and
- an electrically insulating connector housing in which is disposed at least a portion of at least one electrical connector, wherein the at least one electrical connector is arranged for electrically coupling an external conductor to an electrical contact pad of the LED light source module, wherein the electrically insulating connector housing has a second engagement feature, and wherein the second engagement feature is cooperable with the first engagement feature to removeably snap-fit the electrically insulating connector housing to the module housing.
