LED lamp assembly with thermal management system

A lighting system comprising:

• a light emitting diode;
• a lens configured to create an illumination pattern utilizing the light from the light emitting diode;
• a first container, containing a phase change material, thermally connected to the light emitting diode, wherein a portion of the heat generated by the light emitting diode during operation is conducted to the phase change material;
• a mounting bracket connected to the first container, wherein an angle between the mounting bracket and the light emitting diode can be adjusted to redirect light from the lighting system in a new direction;
• and
• a second container thermally connected to the light emitting diode, wherein the second container contains a phase change material having a transition point temperature lower than the transition point temperature of the phase change material of the first container to account for a temperature drop between the second container and the first container.

A lighting array comprising:

• a lamp;
• a first container including a first phase change material thermally connected to the lamp, wherein heat generated by the lamp during operation is conducted to the first phase change material;
• and
• a second container including a second phase change material thermally connected to the lamp, wherein heat generated by the lamp during operation is conducted to the second phase change material, and wherein the second phase change material has a transition point temperature lower than the transition point temperature of the first phase change material of the first container to account for a temperature drop between the second container and the first container.

A method comprising:

• operating a lamp that produces light and heat;
• conducting the heat from the lamp to a first container including a first phase change material;
• absorbing a portion of the heat into the first phase change material, wherein the first phase change material has a transition point temperature lower than the operating temperature of the lamp;
• conducting a portion of the heat from the first container to a second container including a second phase change material;
• and
• absorbing a portion of the heat into the second phase change material, wherein the second phase change material has a transition point temperature lower than the transition point temperature of the first phase change material.
