Abstract

An illuminator includes an upper shell, a lower shell, an LED array and at least one fan. The upper shell includes a first outlet portion extending downward and inward from an inlet portion. The inlet portion includes at least one entrance. The first outlet portion includes a row of vents. The lower shell is made of thermally conductive metal and includes primary radiator fins extending from an upper face of a substrate. The lower shell is connected to the upper shell to form a tubular structure. The LED array is connected to a lower face of the lower shell and includes light-emitting diodes. The at least one fan is inserted in the tubular structure, connected to the inlet portion, and aligned with the at least one aperture.

Dependent claims

An illuminator comprising:

an upper shell comprising:
an inlet portion comprising two opposite edges and at least one entrance locating between the edges;
a first connective portion extending downward from one edge of the inlet portion so that an angle is formed in-between the first connective portion and the inlet portion;
a second connective portion extending downward from another edge of the inlet portion so that an angle is formed in-between the second connective portion and the inlet portion;
a first outlet portion extending downward and inward from a lower edge of the first connective portion so that an angle is formed in-between the first outlet portion and the first connective portion, the first outlet portion comprising a row of vents facing downward;
a second outlet portion extending downward and inward from a lower edge of the second connective portion so that an angle is formed in-between the second outlet portion and the second connective portion;
a lower shell connected to the upper shell to form a tubular structure, made of thermally conductive metal, and comprising:
a substrate formed with an upper face and a lower face;
and
primary radiator fins extending from the upper face of the substrate;
an LED array connected to the lower face of the substrate and comprising light-emitting diodes;
and
at least one fan inserted in the tubular structure, connected to the inlet portion, and aligned with the at least one entrance,
wherein the wind is propelled into the upper shell through the at least one entrance of the inlet portion and out of the upper shell via the vents of the first outlet portion when the at least one fan is actuated,
wherein the upper shell comprises two extensive portions each of which extends from a corresponding one of the first and second outlet portions,
wherein the lower shell comprises two wings extending from two opposite sides of the substrate and connected to the extensive portions.
