Abstract
A device for mounting lighting sources on a substrate includes a mounting frame provided with fixing formations for fixing on the substrate, the mounting frame defining a cavity for receiving the lighting source which rests on the substrate. A locking member may be provided which can be positioned in the cavity of the mounting frame to urge said lighting source toward the substrate. At least one of the mounting frame and the locking member may include at least one retaining formation for the lighting source, including one or more pins extending into corresponding openings in the lighting source, and/or one or more elastic fins extending from the mounting frame to elastically contact the lighting source.
