Abstract
Various embodiments of a compression activated switch device for holding light emitting packages are provided. The device includes an electrical switch configured to operatively couple between a light emitting package and a power source. The light emitting package includes a light emitting element on a support, the electrical switch biased to an open position from a closed position. The compression activated switch also includes a coupling component configured to couple the light emitting package to a structure and a biasing element biasing against coupling the light emitting package to the structure with a predetermined force, wherein in response to a force being applied to the coupling component sufficient to overcome the predetermined force the electric switch moves to the closed position. Visual or audible feedback may be provided upon the application of the predetermined amount of force.
