Abstract
A lighting apparatus (2) includes a housing (4) of plastic material, the housing (4) defining a translucent window (12), and a light emitting diode assembly (3) on a printed circuit board (34). The apparatus (2) may be attached to the hull (14) of a boat by means of a flange (10) and a nut (16). The apparatus (2) may include a heat sink (36) machined from a solid aluminium bar. The housing (4) may be connected to a sealing cap (6). The housing (4) is preferably injection-moulded from a thermoplastic material such as polycarbonate. Electrical wires may extend through a central bore (42) of the heat sink (36) and the sealing cap (6).
Claims22
A lighting apparatus including:
- a housing of a plastic material, the housing defining a translucent window;
- and
- a light emitting diode (LED) assembly located within the housing to emit light through the translucent window.
A light fitting including:
- a housing of a plastic material, the housing defining a translucent window and being shaped so that a light emitting diode (LED) assembly can be located in the housing to emit light through the translucent window.
A lighting apparatus including:
- a housing of a plastic material, the housing defining a translucent window;
- and
- a light emitting diode (LED) assembly located within the housing to emit light through the translucent window, wherein the plastic material is a thermoplastic material.
A lighting apparatus including:
- a housing of a plastic material, the housing defining a translucent window;
- and
- a light emitting diode (LED) assembly located within the housing to emit light through the translucent window, wherein
- the plastic material is selected to have a heat transfer coefficient sufficient to conduct heat from a heat sink of the LED assembly.
