Abstract

A light emitting diode (LED) module has a hexagonal substrate and at least one LED mounted on the substrate. The substrate may have three terminal sets and three sockets. Each terminal set of one LED module has a positive terminal and a negative terminal plugged respectively to a positive jack and a negative jack of each socket of the other LED module. The substrate may have six terminal sets. Each terminal set of one LED module has a positive terminal and a negative terminal respectively connected to the positive and negative terminals of each set of the other LED module through connectors. The LED modules are connected in parallel and the hexagonal substrate allows the LED modules to be arranged in different patterns according to variable products. Moreover, replacing the LED module with a new one is easy, low cost and saves resources.

Claims (17)

1. A light emitting diode (LED) module comprising

a substrate being hexagonal and having

a circuit formed on the substrate;

six edges;

three terminal sets and three sockets arranged alternately on the substrate, respectively corresponding to the edges of the substrate and connected electrically to the circuit, and each terminal set having a positive terminal and a negative terminal, each socket having a positive jack and a negative jack; and
