1. A light generating system comprising a LED module, a module support, and a connector element, wherein:
the module support comprises a first module support opening for hosting at least part of a first connector element part, and the module support comprises one or more second module support openings for hosting at least parts of one or more second connector element parts;
the LED module comprises a LED support and a plurality of LEDs functionally coupled to the LED support, wherein the LED support comprises a LED support opening for hosting at least part of the first connector element part; and wherein the plurality of LEDs are configured to generate light source light;
the connector element comprises the first connector element part, wherein the first connector element part comprises a first spring part, and the connector element comprises the one or more second connector element parts, wherein the one or more second connector element parts each comprise a resilient second part;
at least part of the first connector element part penetrates through the first module support opening; and
the LED support opening, the first connector element part, and the module support are chosen such that in a functional coupling of the LED module and the module support, at least part of the first connector element part penetrates through the LED support opening, and the first spring part exerts a force on the LED module against the module support;
wherein the LED support further comprises a first LED support electrical conductor in electrical contact with one or more of the plurality of LEDs; wherein the first connector element part is electrically conductive, and wherein in the functional coupling of the connector element and the module support the first connector element part is in electrical contact with one or more of the plurality of LEDs via the first LED support electrical conductor; and
wherein at least part of the first LED support electrical conductor is configured within 10 mm from the LED support opening, at least part of the one or more second connector element parts penetrate through the one or more second module support openings, and the one or more resilient second parts prevent a movement of the connector element and the module support relative to each other in a direction perpendicular to the connector element or the module support.
