Flat LED lamp assembly
First Claim
1. An LED-based lamp assembly for use with a light fixture having a socket portion, the lamp assembly comprising:
- a driver assembly having a base portion rotatably engageable with the socket portion to make a first electrical contact with the light fixture, the driver assembly having an electrically conductive tip portion coupled to the base portion, the tip portion being engageable with the socket portion to make a second electrical contact with the light fixture, the tip portion being retractable relative to the base portion when in the second electrical contact, the driver assembly having first electrical contacts; and
a lamp housing assembly operably connected to the driver assembly, the LED lamp assembly having a lamp housing connected to the driver assembly, the lamp housing having second electrical contacts operatively connected to the first electrical contacts, the lamp housing being coupled to at least one LED substrate having at least one LED light thereon, the LED substrate being connected to a heat sink configured to carry heat away from the LED substrate, the lamp housing assembly being rotatable relative to the light fixture to adjust the angular position of the LED substrate while maintaining the first and second electrical contacts between the driver assembly and the socket portion.

Abstract
An LED-based lamp assembly with a driver assembly having a base portion rotateably engageable with the socket of a light fixture to make a first electrical contact with the light fixture. The driver assembly has an electrically conductive, retractable tip portion coupled to the base portion and that makes a second electrical contact with the light fixture. The tip portion retracts relative to the base when in electrical contact with the light fixture'"'"'s socket portion. A lamp housing assembly operably connected to the driver assembly has a lamp housing connected to the driver assembly. The lamp housing is coupled to at least one substrate having at least one LED light thereon. The substrate is connected to, or is an integral part of, a heat sink that carries heat away from the substrate and/or LED light. The lamp housing assembly is rotatable relative to the light fixture to adjust the angular position of the light source.
