Abstract
Example embodiments of the present invention provide a LED light source with an effective and efficient heat management system. For example, embodiments of the present invention include devices, systems, materials, and methods to effectively transfer heat away from LEDs used in an LED light source to produce an LED light source that has high lumen output compared to conventional LED light sources. In particular, example embodiments of the present invention provide an LED light source that includes a transparent or translucent heat conductive material in which the LEDs are embedded.
Claims19
A light source, comprising:
- a socket connection capable of connecting to a source of electricity;
- one or more LEDs electrically coupled to the socket connection;
- a heat conductive material into which the LEDs are embedded, the heat conductive material being substantially translucent or transparent such that light emitted from the LEDs is able to pass through the heat conductive material.
A light source, comprising:
- a socket connection capable of connecting to a source of electricity;
- an LED element comprising one or more LEDs, wherein the one or more LEDs receives electricity by way of the socket connection;
- a heat conductive material into which the LED element is embedded, wherein the heat conductive material is shaped and dimensioned such that the light source meets a standardized form factor.
A method of making a light source, comprising:
- obtaining a structure that includes one or more LEDs;
- embedding the one or more LEDs into a heat conductive material;
- shaping the heat conductive material into desired dimensions and shape to produce a light source.
