Abstract
A mount member () has a contact surface () touching the bottom surface of an LED module () and protrusions () protruding from the periphery of the contact surface () in the thickness direction of the LED module () and regulating sliding motions thereof. A fixing member () made of a resilient, plate-like member comprises an opposing pair of flat portions () near the contact surface () of the mount member () and flat tabs () projecting from the flat portions () toward the contact surface () touching the upper surface of a substrate (). The flat portions () of the fixing member () are fastened to be lower than the top surface of the substrate () of the LED module (). Thus, elastically deformed areas extending from the fastened parts of the flat portions () through the flat tabs () press the substrate () into the mount member ().
