Abstract
An LED lighting fixture including a housing including a first and second border structures. An LED assembly is secured with respect to the housing to permit air/water-flow over the LED assembly. The LED assembly includes at least one LED-array module mounted at an elongate LED heat sink that extends along the housing and between two heat-sink ends. The heat sink has an LED-module-engaging surface and a heat-transfer surface. One heat-sink end is at the first border structure and the other heat-sink end is at the second border structure. The housing and the heat sink define an air gap permitting air/water-flow to and from the heat sink.

An LED lighting fixture comprising:
- a housing including first and second border structures;
- and
- an LED assembly secured with respect to the housing to permit air/water-flow over the LED assembly, the LED assembly including (a) an LED heat sink that has two heat-sink ends, an LED-module-engaging surface and a heat-transfer surface, one heat-sink end being at the first border structure and the other heat-sink end being at the second border structure, the housing and the heat sink defining an air gap permitting air/water-flow to and from the heat sink, and (b) an LED-array module mounted at the LED-module-engaging surface.
An LED lighting fixture comprising:
- a housing including first and second border structures;
- and
- an LED assembly secured with respect to the housing to permit air/water-flow over the LED assembly, the LED assembly including:
- an LED heat sink that has two heat-sink ends, an LED-module-engaging surface and a heat-transfer surface, one heat-sink end being at the first border structure and the other heat-sink end being at the second border structure, and
- an LED-array module mounted to the LED-module-engaging surface.
An LED lighting fixture comprising:
- first and second border structures;
- and
- an LED assembly open to air/water-flow thereover, the LED assembly including (a) an LED heat sink having one heat-sink end at the first border structure and another heat-sink end at the second border structure and (b) an LED-array module connected to the LED heat sink for heat transfer from the LED-array module.
An LED lighting fixture comprising:
- first and second border structures defining an open space therebetween which is open to air/water-flow therethrough;
- and
- an LED assembly within the open space and secured with respect to the border structures, the LED assembly including (a) an LED heat sink having one heat-sink end at the first border structure and another heat-sink end at the second border structure and (b) an LED-array module connected to the LED heat sink for heat transfer from the LED-array module, the LED assembly being configured and positioned within the open space to facilitate air/water-flow through the heat sink.
An LED lighting fixture comprising:
- an LED assembly including at least one LED-array module mounted on an LED heat sink open for air/water-flow thereover;
- and
- a housing defining a venting gap permitting air/water-flow to and from the LED heat sink.
An LED floodlight fixture comprising an LED assembly including a plurality of LED modules separately mounted on corresponding individual heat sinks, each heat sink having a module-engaging surface and a heat-dissipating surface with each LED module against the corresponding module-engaging surface, the heat sinks being interconnected to hold LED modules in fixed relative positions.
