Abstract
A removable LED light module for use in a lighting assembly includes an LED lighting element and one or more resilient members to maintain a compression force between the LED light module and a socket and/or heat dissipating member or thermally conductive housing to provide effective heat transfer from the LED to the heat dissipating member or thermally conductive housing. One or more electrical contact members of the LED light module is configured to releasably contact one or more electrical contact elements of a socket of the lighting assembly when the LED light module is coupled to the socket to establish an electrical connection between the LED light module and the socket, said electrical contact elements positioned behind openings in a surface of the socket to partially obstruct access to said electrical contact elements.
