Abstract
A lighting device includes a support structure formed from a thermally conductive material such as aluminum. The support structure or extrusion has a channel for receiving and retaining a circuit board with a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) disposed thereon. One or more fins adapted for dissipating heat produced by the LEDs may be disposed on the support structure. The support structure may also comprise multiple arrays of LEDs arranged laterally.
Claims22
A support structure for use in an LED lighting device comprising:
- at least one receiving area formed therein for receiving and retaining a substrate having a plurality of light emitting diodes mounted thereon;
- at least one fin formed within the support structure for dissipating heat produced by the plurality of light emitting diodes;
- at least one optical element;
- at least one pair of opposing support segments formed within the support structure for providing an optical channel for retaining the optical element adjacent to the plurality of light emitting diodes;
- and
- at least one sealing channel formed within an end portion of the support structure for containing a sealing member, said sealing member adapted to seal the support structure.
