Abstract

A light engine module that includes at least a first support member, at least a first solid state light emitter on the support member, and three or more electrical connection structures extending through the support member. Also, a light engine module that includes at least first and second circuit boards, at least a first support structure, and at least a first solid state light emitter on the first circuit board, the first and second circuit boards on respective first and second surfaces of the first support structure. Also, a light engine module that includes at least at least a first support structure, a first circuit board on a first surface of the first support structure, and at least a first solid state light emitter on the first circuit board.

Claims (35)

1. A light engine module, comprising:

at least a first solid state light emitter support member;

at least a first solid state light emitter; and

at least first, second and third electrical connection structures,

the first solid state light emitter support member comprising a first major surface and a second major surface, the first major surface and the second major surface on opposite sides of the first solid state light emitter support member,

each of the first, second and third electrical connection structures extending through the solid state light emitter support member from the first major surface to the second major surface,

the first solid state light emitter on the first major surface of the first solid state light emitter support member.

2. A light engine module as recited in claim 1 , wherein the light engine module further comprises:

a first circuit board, the first circuit board on the first solid state light emitter support member, at least the first solid state light emitter on the first circuit board; and

a second circuit board, the second circuit board on the first solid state light emitter support member.

3. A light engine module as recited in claim 2 , wherein at least one compensation circuit component is mounted on the second circuit board.

4. A light engine module as recited in claim 2 , wherein the light engine module further comprises at least one power supply component, and wherein at least one of the electrical connection structures electrically connects the first circuit board to the second circuit board.

5. A light engine module as recited in claim 1 , wherein:

the first solid state light emitter support member is a circuit board,

the first solid state light emitter is mounted on a first surface of the first solid state light emitter support member, and

at least one compensation circuit component is mounted on a second surface of the first solid state light emitter support member.

6. A light engine module comprising:

at least a first solid state light emitter;

at least first and second circuit boards;

at least a first support structure,

the first solid state light emitter on the first circuit board,

the first circuit board on a first surface of the first support structure,

the second circuit board on a second surface of the first support structure.

7. A light engine module as recited in claim 6 , wherein the light engine module further comprises a second support structure, the first support structure attached to the second support structure.

8. A lighting device comprising a light engine module as recited in claim 6 mounted in a lighting device element.

9. A method comprising mounting a light engine module as recited in claim 6 to a lighting device element.

10. A light engine module comprising:

at least a first solid state light emitter;

at least a first circuit board;

at least a first support structure,

the first solid state light emitter on the first circuit board,

the first circuit board on a first surface of the first support structure.

11. A lighting device comprising a light engine module as recited in claim 10 mounted in a lighting device element.

12. A lighting device as recited in claim 11 , wherein the light engine module is removably mounted in the lighting device element.

13. A light engine module as recited in claim 10 , wherein a first notch is provided in the first circuit board.
