Abstract
A light module includes a heat sink and one or more light sources coupled within a heat sink cavity formed therein. The heat sink includes an internal surface surrounding the cavity. The internal surface includes a mounting region, a reflector region extending from the perimeter of the mounting region to a distal end, and a decorative region extending from the distal end to a second distal end. The light module includes multiple mounting pads coupled circumferentially around a portion of the heat sink. The mounting pads are configured to facilitate the heat sink being coupled within different housing diameter sizes. The light module includes a trim ring integrally formed with the heat sink and extending radially outward from one end of the heat sink.
Claims14
A light module, comprising:
- one or more light sources coupled to a heat sink;
- a plurality of mounting pads disposed circumferentially around an external surface of the heat sink for separably coupling the light module to a housing cavity having a first diameter or a housing cavity having a second diameter,
- wherein each mounting pad comprises:
- a first portion that radially extends from the heat sink,
- a second portion that is substantially perpendicular to the first portion, and
- at least one receiving hole located on the first portion of the respective mounting pad;
- and
- a plurality of mounting brackets, each mounting bracket removably coupled to the respective mounting pad and comprising:
- a first planar portion comprising a first end, a second end, a pair of longitudinal edges extending from the first end to the second end, and a slot formed between the pair of longitudinal edges and extending along a portion of the first planar portion;
- a second planar portion extending substantially perpendicularly and downwardly from one of the first end and the second end and comprising a mechanism for mounting a torsion spring,
- wherein at least a portion of the slot is aligned with the at least one receiving hole, the at least one receiving hole and the slot adapted to receive a coupling device to couple the mounting bracket to the mounting pad,
- wherein the light module is coupled to the housing cavity having the first diameter when the mounting bracket is fastened to the mounting pad at a first position of the slot, and
- wherein the light module is coupled to the housing cavity having the second diameter when the mounting bracket is fastened to the mounting pad at a second position of the slot.

- a second end opposite to the first end,
- a pair of longitudinal edges extending from the first end to the second end,
- a slot formed between the pair of longitudinal edges and extending along a portion of the first planar portion, and
- an opening formed between the pair of longitudinal edges and adjacent the slot, and
- a second planar portion extending substantially perpendicularly and downwardly from one of the first end and the second end,
- wherein at least a portion of the slot of the mounting bracket is aligned with the at least one receiving hole of the mounting pad and receives a coupling device therethrough, and
- wherein the opening of the mounting bracket engages with the at least one boss of the mounting pad.
