Abstract

A luminaire is specified with a printed circuit board having at least one light emitting diode, the printed circuit board having a cutout for engaging with a holding element, the cutout positioning the printed circuit board in a fashion locked against rotation with the holding element.

Claims (37)

1. A luminaire, comprising:

a printed circuit board having at least one light emitting diode; the printed circuit board having a cutout for engaging with a holding element; the cutout positioning the printed circuit board in a fashion locked against rotation with the holding element;

wherein the cutout is provided eccentrically in relation to an axis of symmetry of the luminaire.

2. The luminaire as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the holding element can be or is arranged substantially perpendicular to the printed circuit board.

3. The luminaire as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the holding element has a projection in the form of a channel for at least partially engaging with the printed circuit board.

4. The luminaire as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the cutout has an asymmetric shape for engaging with the holding element.

5. The luminaire as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the cutout comprises at least one of a projection and a groove for positioning the holding element in a fashion locked against rotation.

6. The luminaire as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein a heat sink is or can be arranged at least partially between the holding element and the printed circuit board, the holding element positioning the heat sink in a fashion locked against rotation with the holding element and with the printed circuit board.

7. The luminaire as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the printed circuit board is an aluminum core printed circuit board.

8. The luminaire as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the cutout is an opening.

9. The luminaire as claimed in claim 8 ,

wherein the opening is an opening selected from a group consisting of:

a round opening; and

a square opening.

10. The luminaire as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the holding element is a holding element for a circuit arrangement comprising a primary side for operating at least one light emitting diode.

11. The luminaire as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the circuit arrangement further comprises a further printed circuit board with a secondary side and a primary side disposed within the holding element.

12. The luminaire as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the cutout is configured to connect at least one light emitting diode to a circuit arrangement.

13. The luminaire as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the printed circuit board is a substantially annular printed circuit board.

14. The luminaire as claimed in claim 1 ,

in which the luminaire has a base for holding in a mount.

15. The luminaire as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the luminaire has the form of an incandescent bulb and can be introduced as a retrofit luminaire into a mount provided for an incandescent bulb.

16. A luminaire, comprising:

a printed circuit board comprising at least one light emitting diode;

the printed circuit board having an eccentric cutout for engaging with a holding element;

it being possible with the aid of the eccentric cutout to position the printed circuit board in a fashion locked against rotation with the holding element.
