1. A lighting device comprising:
a LED panel, comprising:
a LED carrier;
an arrangement of LEDs; and
connector pads on the LED carrier, wherein a first set of interconnections between the connector pads configures the arrangement of LEDs into a first circuit configuration and a second set of interconnections between the connector pads configures the arrangement of LEDs into a second, different, circuit configuration; and
a lens plate mounted over the LED panel, wherein the lens plate comprises:
a first, light exit, face, and an opposite second face;
an array of lenses;
a configurable set of connectors extending from the second face, wherein the set of connectors is for contacting the connector pads of the LED panel, thereby to configure the LED panel into a selected one of the first circuit configuration and the second circuit configuration;
wherein the first circuit configuration comprises more LEDs in a series than the second circuit configuration.
