ABSTRACT:
An LED lamp module for use with a threaded electrical socket connector is provided, which includes an LED light engine with a first electrical connector, a second electrical connector having a first end electrically engagable with the first electrical connector and a second end having a threaded outer surface compatible with a threaded electrical socket connector. The LED lamp module further comprises a sleeve surrounding the first electrical connector and the first end such that the sleeve allows for relative rotation between the first electrical connector and the first end in a loosened state, and restricts relative rotation between the first electrical connector and the first end in a tightened state. A method for installing a retrofit LED lamp module in a housing which physically restricts full rotation of an LED light engine is also provided. The method includes connecting a first electrical connector to a second electrical connector, wherein the first electrical connector is attached to an LED light engine, and wherein the second electrical connector further comprises a first end electrically engagable with the first electrical connector, and a second end having a threaded outer surface compatible with a threaded electrical socket connector. The method further comprises tightening this connection via a sleeve surrounding the first electrical connector and the first end such that the sleeve allows for relative rotation between the first electrical connector and the first end in a loosened state, and restricts relative rotation between the first electrical connector and the first end in a tightened state.
