A lamp comprises a LED lamp comprising a base. A plurality of LEDs are attached to a first side of the base. A lens covers the plurality of LEDs. A power supply provides power to the LEDs. A first electrical connector provides power to the power supply. A troffer housing comprises a wire way for receiving the power supply. A second electrical conductor is adapted to be connected to a source of power. The base is secured to the troffer housing where the power supply is located in the wire way and the first electrical conductor is connected to the second electrical conductor.
1. A lamp comprising:
a LED lamp comprising:
a base comprising a substantially planar member having a first side and a second side;
a plurality of LEDs attached to the first side of the base;
a lens mounted to the base, the lens covering the plurality of LEDs;
a power supply comprising a driver being mounted to the second side of the base opposite to the plurality of LEDs, the power supply providing power to the LEDs to illuminate the LEDs; and
a first electrical connector for providing power to the power supply;
a troffer housing for mounting the LED lamp comprising:
a wire way comprising a trough defining a recessed interior for receiving the power supply;
a second electrical conductor adapted to be connected to a source of power;
wherein the LED lamp is secured to the troffer housing, the power supply is located in the wire way, the base is removably attached to the housing and covers the trough to enclose the recessed interior of the wire way and the first electrical connector and the second electrical conductor are in the enclosed recessed interior and first electrical connector is connected to the second electrical conductor.
