Abstract

A lighting device for an opening of a recessed light fixture includes a plate for mounting at the opening of the recessed light fixture, the plate having a first side for facing the recessed light fixture and a second side opposite to the first side, a light emitting diode lighting panel attached at the second side of the plate, and a power supply unit for insertion into a socket of the recessed light fixture, wherein the power supply unit is for providing power to the light emitting diode panel.

Claims

1. A lighting device for an opening of a recessed light fixture comprising:

a plate for mounting at the opening of the recessed light fixture, the plate having a first side for facing the recessed light fixture and a second side opposite to the first side;

a light emitting diode lighting panel attached at the second side of the plate; and

a power supply unit for insertion into a socket of the recessed light fixture, wherein the power supply unit is for providing power to the light emitting diode panel.

2. The lighting device of claim 1, further comprising a spring for attaching the plate to the recessed light fixture.

3. The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the lighting device further includes:

posts on the second side of the plate; and

eyelets on the light emitting diode lighting panel for receiving the posts.

4. The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the light emitting diode lighting panel is mounted onto the plate by pins.

5. The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the light emitting diode lighting panel is mounted onto the plate by dips.

6. The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the plate has bumps on the first side of the plate for ventilation.

7. The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the light emitting diode lighting panel has openings for ventilation.

8. The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the light emitting diode lighting panel includes a flexible strip of light emitting diodes.

9. A lighting device for an opening of a recessed light fixture comprising:

a plate for mounting at the opening of the recessed light fixture, the plate having a first side for facing the recessed light fixture and a second side opposite to the first side;

a light emitting diode lighting panel attached at the second side of the plate, the light emitting diode lighting panel having a first connector; and

a power supply unit for insertion into a socket of the recessed light fixture, wherein the power supply unit has a second connector for connecting to the first connector.

10. The lighting device of claim 9, further comprising a spring for attaching the plate to the recessed light fixture.

11. The lighting device of claim 9, wherein the lighting device further includes:

posts on the second side of the plate; and

eyelets on the light emitting diode lighting panel for receiving the posts.

12. The lighting device of claim 9, wherein the light emitting diode lighting panel is mounted onto the plate by pins.

13. The lighting device of claim 9, wherein the light emitting diode lighting panel is mounted onto the plate by clips.

14. The lighting device of claim 9, wherein the plate has bumps on the first side of the plate for ventilation.

15. The lighting device of claim 9, wherein the light emitting diode lighting panel has openings for ventilation.

16. The lighting device of claim 9, wherein the light emitting diode lighting panel includes a flexible strip of light emitting diodes.

17. A lighting device for an opening of a recessed light fixture comprising:

a plate for mounting at the opening of the recessed light fixture, the plate having a first side for facing the recessed light fixture and a second side opposite to the first side;

a light emitting diode lighting panel attached at the second side of the plate, the light emitting diode lighting panel including a flexible strip of light emitting diodes;

attachment mechanisms for affixing the light emitting diode lighting panel at the second side of the plate; and

a power supply unit for insertion into a socket of the recessed light fixture, wherein the power supply unit has a second connector for connecting to the first connector.

18. The lighting device of claim 17, wherein the plate has bumps on the first side of the plate for ventilation.

19. The lighting device of claim 17, wherein the light emitting diode lighting panel has openings for ventilation.

20. The lighting device of claim 17, further comprising a beauty ring for covering the attachment mechanisms.
