Abstract
Antenna-containing LED lighting devices, systems and configuring methods are provided. An exemplary LED lighting device includes an LED light source component unit and an LED driving circuit and power supply unit configured to drive the LED light source component unit and to power the LED lighting device. The LED lighting device further includes a heat sink, an RF antenna, and an RF circuit. The RF antenna is configured to have an antenna top plane containing a highest point of the RF antenna coplanar with or lower than a heat sink top plane containing a highest point of the heat sink. The RF antenna is configured without affecting a light-emitting path from the LED light source component unit.
