High Intensity Discharge Light Assembly

A light assembly comprising:

• a heat pipe having a first condenser portion and an first evaporator portion, said heat pipe comprising a longitudinally extending wall;
• a plurality of light sources disposed at least partially around and thermally coupled to longitudinally extending wall at the first evaporator portion of the heat pipe;
• and
• a heat sink housing comprising a heat sink portion, an electronic housing portion and a plurality of fins, said heat sink housing receiving the first condenser portion of the heat pipe, said heat sink portion comprising an inner wall adjacent to the heat pipe, an outer wall having the plurality of fins extending therefrom and a plurality of radially extending walls extending between the inner wall and the outer wall, a first plurality of fins of the plurality of fins linearly aligned with at least some the plurality of radially extending walls and a second plurality of fins of the plurality of fins having pairs extending substantially parallel to one of the radially extending walls disposed between each of the pairs.

A light assembly comprising:
