2. Description of Related Art
A traditional light-emitting device is used to provide illumination for humans, such as simple illumination or illumination for enhancing the aspect of the environment. However, the characteristics of traditional light-emitting devices are fixed such as fixed heat-dissipating effect, fixed light-emitting effect, and fixed light-projecting angle.
When the user purchases a traditional light-emitting device, the components of the traditional light-emitting device cannot be replaced. In other words, because the characteristics of a traditional light-emitting device are fixed, the components of the traditional light-emitting device cannot be replaced according to the user's different requirements.
One particular aspect of the present invention is to provide an improved custom assembly light-emitting module that includes a light-emitting unit and a lens unit that are replaceable according to the user's different requirements. Hence, the light-emitting unit is replaceable according to different light-emitting effects, and the lens unit is replaceable according to different light-projecting angles.
In order to achieve the above-mentioned aspects, the present invention provides an improved custom assembly light-emitting module, including: a light-emitting unit and a lens unit. The light-emitting unit has two first retaining structures. The lens unit has two second retaining structures. The lens unit and the light-emitting unit are detachably assembled together by matching the two first retaining structures and the two second retaining structures. Moreover, the two first retaining structures are respectively extended upwards from two opposite lateral sides of the light-emitting unit, the lens unit has a solid lens, the two second retaining structures are respectively formed on two opposite lateral sides of the solid lens, and the lens unit is detachably disposed above the light-emitting unit. In addition, each first retaining structure has a concave retaining portion formed on its outside. The light-emitting unit is inverted and retained in a hooking unit by the two concave retaining portions mating with the hooking unit.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned aspects, the present invention provides an improved custom assembly light-emitting module, including: a light-emitting unit, a lens unit, and two cover units. The light-emitting unit has a circuit substrate, a plurality of light-emitting elements electrically disposed on the circuit substrate, and two first retaining structures formed on two opposite lateral sides of the light-emitting unit. The lens unit has a hollow transparent structure, a solid lens integratedly with the hollow transparent structure, and the two second retaining structures disposed on an inner surface of the hollow transparent structure. The two second retaining structures correspond to the two first retaining structures, respectively. Hence, the lens unit and the light-emitting unit are detachably assembled together by matching the two first retaining structures and the two second retaining structures.

2. The lens unit is replaceable (the lens unit is detachably disposed above the light-emitting unit by matching the two first retaining structures and the two second retaining structures), so that the solid lens can be changed according to the different light-projecting angles the user's requirement.
3. In one embodiment, the light-emitting unit is inverted and retained in a hooking unit by the two concave retaining portions mating with the hooking unit. Hence, the light beams generated by the light-emitting elements pass through the solid lens and generate upwards projecting light beams with predetermined light-projecting angles so as to provide brightness the user's requirement.
4. In another embodiment, the lens unit is inverted and retained under a hooking unit by the two concave retaining portions matching with the hooking unit. Hence, the light beams generated by the light-emitting elements pass through the solid lens and generate upwards projecting light beams with predetermined light-projecting angles so as to provide brightness the user's requirement.
5. In another embodiment, the two second retaining structures correspond to the two first retaining structures respectively. Hence, the lens unit is detachably disposed in the hollow transparent structure by matching the two first retaining structures and the two second retaining structures.
