Integrated lighting module
An integrated-lighting-module may have a heat sink module, a LED light chip, an optical reflector, and a holder, and optionally a driver cap. The driver cap may be configured to hold a driver within the driver cap to power the LED light chip. The driver cap may attach to a top of the heat sink module. The driver may be housed within the heat sink module. The heat sink module may be finned at various locations. The holder may attach to the heat sink module with the optical reflector and the LED light chip disposed between elements of the holder and elements of the heat sink module. Trim, such as MR16 sized trim, a lamp, and/or a lens holder, may attach to a bottom flange of the holder. The integrated-lighting-module may be adjusted without interfering with the trim. The holder may function as trim in some embodiments.
