ABSTRACT:
An LED light engine includes a flexible electrical cable, a wire-socket assembly attached to the cable, and an LED module selectively attached to the wire-socket assembly. The wire-socket assembly includes at least two IDC terminals. The IDC terminal displaces the insulating covering of the cable and contacts one of the electrical conductors. The LED module includes an LED electrically connected to the IDC terminals when the LED module attaches to the wire-socket assembly.
