Abstract
A light-emitting device (), comprising an LED-module () comprising at least one LED mounted on a carrier and at least one connection pad (-) for electrical connection of the LED module (), a heat dissipator () for dissipating heat generated by the LED when in operation, a connection board () comprising a substrate having a conductor pattern for enabling provision of external power to the LED module (), an interconnecting arrangement (-) comprising at least one connection spring (-) attached to the connection board () electrically interconnecting the at least one connection pad (-) of the LED module () with the conductor pattern of the connection board (), and an LED-holder comprising at least one holding spring (-) attached to the connection board () exerting a spring force there by pressing the LED-module () against the heat dissipator () to provide a thermal connection between the LED-module () and the heat dissipator (). The interconnecting arrangement (-) is configured to allow movement between the conductor pattern of the connection board () and the at least one connection pad (-). The at least one connection spring (-) constitutes the at least one holding spring (-), to simultaneously electrically interconnect the at least one connection pad (-) of the LED-module () with the conductor pattern of the connection board () and press the LED-module () against the heat dissipator ().
