Abstract
An LED replacement light bulb for use in a standard AC light bulb socket is provided. The light bulb includes a body, a heat sink portion and an end cap arranged to receive DC electrical current from the AC light bulb socket where the AC electrical system has been converted to a DC electrical system. The LED replacement bulb includes a base and wires connecting the base to a plurality of LEDs or to an LED board. A quick disconnect is disposed between the base and the plurality of LEDS or the LED board to allow for easy removal and replacement of the LEDs or of the LED board. In one preferred embodiment, a lens cover is provided with stand-off legs to avoid metal to metal contact between the bulb and its surrounding lighting fixture.
