Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A lighting module ( 1 ) comprising at least one light emitting device ( 3 ) arranged on a first carrier ( 10 ); driving electronics ( 4 ) for driving the at least one light emitting device ( 3 ) arranged on a second carrier ( 11 ); and an optical interface ( 5 ) for outputting light emitted by the at least one light emitting device ( 3 ), wherein the second carrier ( 11 ) is arranged in a plane substantially parallel to the first carrier ( 10 ), wherein the first ( 10 ) and second ( 11 ) carriers are configured such that a projection of the first carrier ( 10 ) onto the plane is substantially non-overlapping with the second carrier ( 11 ) so as to form a non-overlapping region, wherein the driving electronics is at least partially arranged in the non-overlapping region. The inventive lighting module enables more efficient use of the space in the lighting module.
