    Abstract: A lighting system including modules containing LEDs or other electroluminescent devices and loosely constrained magnetic structures at least partially contained within cavities in the module substrate that are connected to fixtures under magnetic force. The loosely constrained magnetic structures accommodate mechanical variations in the system and provide a method to connect modules mechanically, electrically and thermally to different fixtures or positions in fixtures without tools. The relatively short distance separating magnetic structures provides high connection forces with the use of relatively small magnets. Magnets and electrical contacts are not located directly between the LED subassembly and the fixture, which provides higher thermal conductivity pathways to remove heat from the LEDs. Biasing members may be used to increase thermal contact. Magnetic structures may, but are not required, to conduct electricity. Fixtures that attach to modules include rails, sockets, heat sinks and two-dimensional structures with recessed electrodes for improved electrical safety.

    Abstract translation: 一种照明系统,包括包含LED或其他电致发光器件的模块以及至少部分地包含在模块衬底中的空腔内的松散约束的磁性结构,其在磁力下连接到固定装置。 松散约束的磁性结构适应系统中的机械变化,并提供一种将模块机械地,电气地和热地连接到不同工具的夹具中的不同夹具或位置的方法。 分离磁性结构的相对短的距离通过使用相对小的磁体提供高的连接力。 磁体和电触点不直接位于LED子组件和固定装置之间,这提供了更高的导热通道,以从LED中去除热量。 偏压构件可用于增加热接触。 磁性结构可以但不是必需的来传导电力。 连接到模块的夹具包括导轨,插座,散热器和具有凹陷电极的二维结构,以提高电气安全性。
