The invention relates to an illuminant () and a socket () for a lamp (). The features of the socket () can be implemented also independently of the features of the illuminant (). The illuminant () has a preferably planar illumination surface (). One or more semiconductor lighting elements are arranged within an illuminant housing (). The illuminant connection device () required for mechanical and electrical connection to the socket () is provided on the rear face () of the illuminant (), said rear face () lying opposite the illumination surface (). The dimensions of the illuminant are preferably greater than the dimensions of the socket () such that the illuminant () fully covers the socket when looking onto the illumination surface (), resulting in a particularly appealing look. Said socket and illuminant () modularly achieve large total illumination surfaces in a lamp () and an appealing overall appearance in a very simple manner.

OLED illuminant for a lamp

The invention relates to an illuminant () and a socket () for a lamp (). The features of the socket can be implemented also independently of the features of the illuminant (). The socket has supply terminal areas on multiple sides of the socket housing such that the socket () can be selectively supplied with electricity and wired from different sides or also simultaneously from multiple sides. Independently of the number and the arrangement of the supply terminal areas (), multiple electrical supply terminals () having the same polarity are provided on the socket (). Said supply terminals () having the same polarity are electrically short-circuited by means of a shorting connector (), in particular two identical shorting connectors () being arranged in the socket housing. Said socket () and illuminant () modularly achieve large total illumination surfaces in a lamp () and an appealing appearance in a very simple manner.
