| 1. A light source module, comprising:
a metal carrier,
a plurality of LEDs connected to the metal carrier in an insulating manner,
a frame surrounding the plurality of LEDs, the frame comprising expansion joints, the expansion joints each comprising a separation
cut,
potting composition arranged between the frame and the plurality of LEDs, and
a printed circuit board disposed between the frame and the metal carrier for electrically connecting the plurality of LEDs,
the printed circuit board being arranged to cover portions of the metal carrier;
wherein the plurality of LEDs are connected to the metal carrier on regions of the metal carrier that are not covered by the
printed circuit board.
