Abstract:
The invention relates to a socket (150, 250, 350)for receiving a lighting module (102, 102´, 202, 302´, 302´´, 302´´´) comprising a light source (106, 209), electrical contacting means (108´, 108´´, 108´´´, 215, 381; 371, 382; 372, 383; 373) electrically connected to the light source (106, 209) and a heat spreader (140, 240, 340) in thermal contact with the light source (106, 209), the socket (150, 250, 350) comprising at least a first set (131, 231, 331) and a second set (132, 232, 332) of socket contact means for providing an electrical interface with the electrical contacting means (108´, 108´´, 108´´´, 215, 381; 371, 382; 372, 383; 373) of the lighting module (102, 102´, 202, 302´, 302´´, 302´´´), wherein the socket (150, 250, 350) is configured to retain the lighting module (102, 102´, 202, 302´, 302´´, 302´´´) in a predetermined position in which electrical contact between the electrical contacting means (108, 215, 381; 371, 382; 372, 383; 373) of the lighting module (102, 102´, 202, 302´, 302´´, 302´´´) and one of the first (131, 231, 331) and second set (132, 232, 332) of socket contact means is achieved and electrical contact between the electrical contacting means (108´, 108´´, 108´´´, 215, 381; 371, 382; 372, 383; 373) of the lighting module (102, 102´, 202, 302´, 302´´, 302´´´) and the other one of the first (131, 231, 331) and second set (132, 232, 332) of socket contact means is prevented. The invention further relates to a lighting module (102, 102´, 202, 302´, 302´´, 302´´´) to be received in the socket (150, 250, 350) and to a luminaire comprising a lighting module mounted in a socket.
