LED module with mounting pads
First Claim
1. A light module, comprising:
- one or more light sources coupled to a heat sink;
a plurality of mounting pads disposed circumferentially around an external surface of the heat sink for separably coupling the light module to a housing cavity having a first diameter or a housing cavity having a second diameter,wherein each mounting pad comprises;
a first portion that radially extends from the heat sink,a second portion that is substantially perpendicular to the first portion, andat least one receiving hole located on the first portion of the respective mounting pad; and
a plurality of mounting brackets, each mounting bracket removably coupled to the respective mounting pad and comprising;
a first planar portion comprising a first end, a second end, a pair of longitudinal edges extending from the first end to the second end, and a slot formed between the pair of longitudinal edges and extending along a portion of the first planar portion;
a second planar portion extending substantially perpendicularly and downwardly from one of the first end and the second end and comprising a mechanism for mounting a torsion spring,wherein at least a portion of the slot is aligned with the at least one receiving hole, the at least one receiving hole and the slot adapted to receive a coupling device to couple the mounting bracket to the mounting pad,wherein the light module is coupled to the housing cavity having the first diameter when the mounting bracket is fastened to the mounting pad at a first position of the slot, andwherein the light module is coupled to the housing cavity having the second diameter when the mounting bracket is fastened to the mounting pad at a second position of the slot.

Abstract
A light module includes a heat sink and one or more light sources coupled within a heat sink cavity formed therein. The heat sink includes an internal surface surrounding the cavity. The internal surface includes a mounting region, a reflector region extending from the perimeter of the mounting region to a distal end, and a decorative region extending from the distal end to a second distal end. The light module includes multiple mounting pads coupled circumferentially around a portion of the heat sink. The mounting pads are configured to facilitate the heat sink being coupled within different housing diameter sizes. The light module includes a trim ring integrally formed with the heat sink and extending radially outward from one end of the heat sink.
