Abstract
A LED holder includes a planar base member to releasably couple the holder to the heat sink of a luminaire. The LED holder also includes a substrate that is coupled to the planar base member and has one or more LEDs disposed on the substrate and electrically coupled to the substrate. The substrate can be a printed circuit board and the LEDs can be discrete LEDs or an LED package. A cover panel is removably coupled to the planar base member and is designed to prevent access to the substrate and the LEDs when the luminaire powered on. The LED holder can also include a LED cover positioned over the LEDs and within the cover panel to limit access to the top side of the LEDs while permitting light emitted by the LEDs to pass through the LED cover.
