LIGHTING MODULE HAVING FIELD-REPLACEABLE OPTICS, IMPROVED COOLING, AND TOOL-LESS MOUNTING FEATURES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240035643 titled 'LIGHTING MODULE HAVING FIELD-REPLACEABLE OPTICS, IMPROVED COOLING, AND TOOL-LESS MOUNTING FEATURES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a lighting module that includes a heat sink, a LED light source, a driver module, and an optical assembly. The heat sink has a sidewall and a partition that define two cavities. The LED light source is placed in one cavity to emit light, while the driver module is placed in the other cavity to provide electrical power to the light source. The optical assembly is field-changeable and includes a cover lens with snap-fit connectors for easy removal and replacement. The optical assembly also includes either a reflector coupled to the cover lens or an optical lens coupled to the heat sink via an optic holder. The driver circuitry allows for dimming of the light source. The heat sink dissipates heat generated by the light source and the driver circuitry to maintain desired operating temperatures and increase light output.

  • The lighting module includes a heat sink with two cavities, a LED light source, a driver module, and an optical assembly.

Original Abstract Submitted

a lighting module includes a heat sink with a sidewall and a partition defining two cavities, a led light source disposed in one cavity to emit light, a driver module disposed in the other cavity with driver circuitry to provide electrical power to the light source, and an optical assembly to provide a desired emission profile. the optical assembly is field-changeable and includes a cover lens with snap-fit connectors to facilitate removal and replacement. the optical assembly further includes either a reflector coupled to the cover lens or an optical lens coupled to the heat sink via an optic holder. in some examples, the driver circuitry facilitates dimming of the light source. the heat sink also dissipates heat generated by the light source and the driver circuitry to maintain desired operating temperatures and thereby facilitate increased light output.
