Abstract
Connecting a first (12) and a second (14) printed circuit board or PCB carrying a LED lighting source (10) and the associated drive circuitry involves providing board connection pads (12a, 14a) at said first (12) and second (14) PCBs, and arranging a flex PCB (16) in a bridge-like fashion between the first (12) and second (14) PCBs. The flex PCB (16) has connection pads (16a) for bonding with the board connection pads (12a, 14a) of the PCBs (12, 14). The connection pads (16a) in the flex PCB (16) arranged in a bridge-like fashion between the first (12) and second (14) PCBs are bonded with the connection pads (12a, 14a) of the first (12) and second (14) PCBs, so that the first (12) and second (14) PCBs are connected.
