Compact high output led light source with heat sink

A high-output LED light source comprising:

• at least one LED;
• a circuit board, wherein the at least one LED is mounted on a first side of the circuit board, the circuit board comprising one or more vent spaces that pass through the circuit board from the first side to a second side of the circuit board;
• and
• a flat wire heat sink, wherein the flat wire heat sink comprises a metal flat wire oriented perpendicular to the circuit board and forming a plurality of windings around a center axis, wherein the flat wire heat sink is thermally connected to the second side of the circuit board.
