Abstract

An LED lamp includes a first LED light module and a second LED light module. The first LED light module includes a frame, a beam mounted on the frame, a plurality of LEDs mounted on the frame and a cover fixed to the frame to cover the LEDs. The second LED light module includes a housing, a base mounted on the housing and an LED fixed to the housing. The base of the first LED light module defines two grooves. The base of the second LED light module forms two posts. The two posts can be locked in the two grooves to mount the first LED light module with the second LED light module and complete the electrical connection between the first and second LED light modules.

Claims

1. An LED (light-emitting diode) lamp comprising:

a first LED light module comprising a frame, a beam connected to the frame, an LED mounted to the frame, and a base connected to the frame;

a second LED light module comprising a housing, a base connected to the housing and an LED mounted to the housing;

wherein one of the first LED light module and the second LED light module comprises a pair of posts formed on the base thereof, and the other one of the first LED light module and the second LED light module comprises a pair of grooves defined in the base thereof; and

wherein the posts are respectively lockable in the grooves by firstly inserting the posts in the to grooves and then rotating one of the first and second LED light modules relative to the other to mount the second LED light module to the first LED light module and complete an electrical connection between the first and second LED light modules.

2. The LED lamp of claim 1, wherein each of the grooves comprises a hole and a slot communicating with the hole, the slot having a width less than a diameter of the hole.

3. The LED lamp of claim 2, wherein each of the posts comprises a pole and a head formed on the pole, the head having a diameter larger than that of the pole.

4. The LED lamp of claim 3, wherein the diameter of the head is larger than the width of the slot and less than the diameter of the hole, and the diameter of the pole is less than the width of the slot.

5. The LED lamp of claim 4, wherein each of the posts is lockable in a corresponding groove by extending the head of the post into the hole, and then moving the pole into the slot.

6. The LED lamp of claim 2, wherein the slots of the two grooves extend along a same one of a clockwise or an anticlockwise direction.

7. The LED lamp of claim 2, wherein the posts are formed on the base of the second LED light module, and the grooves are defined in the base of the first LED light module.

8. The LED lamp of claim 7, wherein the base of the first LED light module defines a chamber in a bottom face thereof, the base of the second LED light module forms a block protruding upwardly from a top face thereof, the block being received in the chamber when the posts are locked in the grooves.

9. The LED lamp of claim 8, wherein the chamber is defined in a central area of the bottom face of the base of the first LED light module, the grooves being located at two opposite sides of the chamber.

10. The LED lamp of claim 9, wherein an imaginary line is defined through a center of the chamber and along an elongated direction of the beam, the two holes of the two grooves being located at two sides of the imaginary line, respectively.

11. The LED lamp of claim 10, wherein the two slots of the two grooves intersect with the imaginary line.

12. The LED lamp of claim 8, wherein the first LED light module further comprises another base formed on the beam, the beam being located between the base and the another base of the first LED light module.

13. The LED lamp of claim 12, wherein the first LED light module further comprises two posts and a block formed on the another base, the two posts of the first LED light module on the another base being located at two opposite sides of the block on the another base of the first LED light module.

14. The LED lamp of claim 13, wherein the posts of the first LED light module have the same configurations as those of the posts of the second LED light module, and the block on the another base of the first LED light module has the same configuration as that of the block of the second LED light module.

15. The LED lamp of claim 7, wherein the LED of the second LED light module is electrically connected to the two posts of the second LED light module.

16. The LED lamp of claim 1, wherein the frame comprises an annular plate and two flanges extending upwardly from an inner circumferential periphery and outer circumferential periphery of the plate, respectively, the LED being mounted on a bottom face of the plate.

17. The LED lamp of claim 16, wherein the beam comprises two opposite ends each connecting the plate between the two flanges.

18. The LED lamp of claim 16, wherein the base of the first LED light module is surrounded by the flanges.
