Abstract
A lighting module () having a connection end () for connection to a lamp holder (), and a light output end () for outputting light, wherein the lighting module (), at the light output end (), is provided with a mechanical interface comprising first () and second () protrusions extending in a direction parallel with a longitudinal axis () of the lighting module and being configured to interact with corresponding protrusions () on an identical mechanical interface to transfer at least one of a rotational force and a pulling force to the lighting module (), so that a device (') provided with such an identical mechanical interface can be used as a tool for connecting/disconnecting the lighting module (). An advantage is that it is possible to utilize one lighting module as a tool to connect/disconnect another lighting module from a lamp holder.
