## Abstract

The disclosure relates to a light-emitting diode (LED) lamp system and apparatus. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an LED unit. The apparatus includes a heat dissipation assembly and an LED driver assembly. The LED driver assembly includes an LED driver unit and a driver mounting plate. The LED driver unit is electrically coupled with the LED unit. A casing assembly secures the heat dissipation assembly anterior to the LED driver assembly. The casing assembly includes a first longitudinal section and a second longitudinal section that fit together to secure the heat dissipation assembly anterior to the LED driver assembly.
