Abstract
LED module with integrated thermal spreader. In an aspect, an LED module is provided that includes an LED light source, a driver connected to energize the LED light source, and a thermal spreader thermally coupled to at least one of the LED light source and the driver, the thermal spreader configured to provide a thermal conduction path to conduct heat energy away from the LED module. In another aspect, a lighting device includes a heat sink and an LED module mated with the heat sink. The LED module includes an LED light source, a driver connected to energize the LED light source, and a thermal spreader thermally coupled to at least one of the LED light source and the driver, the thermal spreader forming a thermal conduction path with the heat sink to conduct thermal energy away from the LED module.
