An LED based illumination module includes a thermal interface surface that is coupled to a thermal interface surface of a reflector using engaging members that generate a compressive force between the thermal interface surfaces. The engaging members may be, e.g., protrusions that interface with recesses, spring pins, formed sheet metal, magnets, mounting collar, etc. The reflector may include a vented portion that is not optically coupled to the LED based illumination module to allow air to pass through the reflector.

1. An apparatus comprising: a reflector with a first tapered feature and a first thermal interface surface;an LED based illumination module with a second thermal interface surface; anda mounting collar including a first member and a second member each with a second tapered feature, wherein the second member is moveable with respect to the first member, and wherein a movement to an engaged position couples the first and second tapered features and generates a compressive force between the reflector and the LED based illumination module coupled to the first member of the mounting collar. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: a hinge element coupled to first and second members of the mounting collar. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: a buckle, wherein the buckle fixedly couples the first member to the second member in the engaged position. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a thermally conductive pad disposed between the first and second thermal interface surfaces. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first thermal interface surface is a faceted surface with a first surface area, wherein a first portion of the first surface area contacts the second thermal interface surface when the first and second thermal interface surfaces are brought into contact, and wherein a second portion of the first surface area does not contact the second thermal interface surface when the first and second thermal interface surfaces are brought into contact generating a void between the first and second thermal interface surfaces. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the second thermal interface surface is a faceted surface with a second surface area, wherein a first portion of the second surface area contacts the first thermal interface surface when the first and second thermal interface surfaces are brought into contact, and wherein a second portion of the second surface area does not contact the first thermal interface surface when the first and second thermal interface surfaces are brought into contact generating the void between the first and second thermal interface surfaces. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first thermal interface surface is a thin sheet flexibly bonded to the reflector. 8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the second thermal interface surface is a thin sheet flexibly bonded to the LED based illumination module. 9. An apparatus comprising: an LED based illumination module with a first thermal interface surface;a reflector including a second thermal interface surface; anda mounting collar including a first member and a second member with a plurality of elastic mounting members, wherein the mounting collar is operable to capture the reflector by a movement of the second member relative to the first member, and wherein the movement deforms the elastic mounting members and generates a compressive force between the first and the second thermal interface surfaces. 10. The apparatus of claim 9, further comprising: a hinge element coupled to first and second members of the mounting collar. 11. The apparatus of claim 9, further comprising: a buckle, wherein the buckle fixedly couples the first member to the second member in an engaged position. 12. The apparatus of claim 9, further comprising a thermally conductive pad disposed between the first and second thermal interface surfaces. 13. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the first thermal interface surface is a faceted surface with a first surface area, wherein a first portion of the first surface area contacts the second thermal interface surface when the first and second thermal interface surfaces are brought into contact, and wherein a second portion of the first surface area does not contact the second thermal interface surface when the first and second thermal interface surfaces are brought into contact generating a void between the first and second thermal interface surfaces. 14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the second thermal interface surface is a faceted surface with a second surface area, wherein a first portion of the second surface area contacts the first thermal interface surface when the first and second thermal interface surfaces are brought into contact, and wherein a second portion of the second surface area does not contact the first thermal interface surface when the first and second thermal interface surfaces are brought into contact generating the void between the first and second thermal interface surfaces. 15. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the first thermal interface surface is a thin sheet flexibly bonded to the LED based illumination module. 16. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the second thermal interface surface is a thin sheet flexibly bonded to the reflector.
