Abstract

In the case of a light module ( 1 ) for a vehicle headlight, wherein the light module ( 1 ) has a heat sink ( 2 ) and a plurality of lighting units secured on the heat sink ( 2 ), each of the lighting units comprising at least one light source ( 5 ), a light source carrier ( 4 ) and a reflector unit ( 6 ) secured to the light source carrier ( 4 ), at least one lighting unit with the light source carrier rests rotatably on a horizontal supporting surface ( 3 ) of the heat sink ( 2 ).

Claims (25)

1. A light module for a vehicle headlight, the light module comprising: a heat sink and a plurality of lighting units secured on the heat sink, each of the lighting units comprising at least one light source, a light source carrier and a reflector unit secured to the light source carrier, and the light source carrier ( 4 ) is formed by a circuit board ( 4 ),

wherein the light source carrier of the at least one lighting unit rests rotatably on a horizontal supporting surface ( 3 ) of the heat sink ( 2 ).

2. The light module of claim 1 , wherein the light source ( 5 ) is formed by at least one LED ( 5 ).

3. The light module of claim 2 , wherein the circuit board ( 4 ) has a bore ( 10 ), which cooperates with a corresponding pin ( 14 ) on the heat sink ( 2 ) for rotatable mounting of the at least one lighting unit.

4. The light module of claim 1 , wherein the light module ( 1 ) comprises fixing screws ( 13 ) for fixing the at least one rotatably securable lighting unit.

5. The light module of claim 1 , further comprising an adhesive layer is arranged between the heat sink ( 2 ) and the light source carrier ( 4 ).

6. The light module of claim 1 , wherein the reflector unit ( 6 ) is adhered to the light source carrier ( 4 ).

7. A light module for a vehicle headlight, the light module comprising: a heat sink and a plurality of lighting units secured on the heat sink, each of the lighting units comprising at least one light source, a light source carrier and a reflector unit secured to the light source carrier,

wherein at least one lighting unit with the light source carrier rests rotatably on a horizontal supporting surface ( 3 ) of the heat sink ( 2 ),

wherein the at least one light source ( 5 ) is formed by at least one LED ( 5 ) and the light source carrier ( 4 ) is formed by a circuit board ( 4 ), and

wherein the circuit board ( 4 ) has a bore ( 10 ), which cooperates with a corresponding pin ( 14 ) on the heat sink ( 2 ) for rotatable mounting of the at least one lighting unit.

8. The light module of claim 7 , wherein the light module ( 1 ) comprises fixing screws ( 13 ) for fixing the at least one rotatably securable lighting unit.

9. The light module of claim 7 , further comprising an adhesive layer is arranged between the heat sink ( 2 ) and the light source carrier ( 4 ).

10. The light module of claim 7 , wherein the reflector unit ( 6 ) is adhered to the light source carrier ( 4 ).

11. A light module for a vehicle headlight, the light module comprising:

a heat sink; and

a lighting unit rotatably secured on a horizontal supporting surface of the heat sink, wherein the lighting unit comprises

a light source,

a light source carrier, and

a reflector unit secured to the light source carrier,

wherein the light source carrier has a bore that cooperates with a corresponding pin on the heat sink for rotatable mounting of the light source carrier on the horizontal supporting surface of the heat sink.

12. The light module of claim 11 , wherein the light source is formed by at least one LED, and the light source carrier is formed by a circuit board.

13. The light module of claim 11 , further comprising fixing screws for fixing the lighting unit.

14. The light module of claim 11 , further comprising an adhesive layer disposed between the heat sink and the light source carrier.

15. The light module of claim 11 , wherein the reflector unit is adhered to the light source carrier.
