## Abstract

A light-emitting diode (LED) light fixture with a channel-type heat dissipation system is provided. The LED light fixture includes a plurality of light-emitting devices including LEDs, a heat dissipation unit connected with the plurality of light-emitting devices and having the plurality of light-emitting devices mounted thereon, a casing accommodating the heat dissipation unit and the light emitting devices, a cover connected with the casing, disposed above the plurality of light-emitting devices, and that is light-transmissive, and a ventilation channel through which ambient air passes. The casing has one open surface. The cover is connected to cover the open surface. The heat dissipation unit has an upper surface exposed through the open surface and a lower surface. The plurality of light-emitting devices are connected to the upper surface of the heat dissipation unit and exposed through the open surface.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A light-emitting diode (LED) light fixture with a channel-type heat dissipation system, the LED light fixture comprising:
a substrate unit;
a power connection unit attached to the substrate unit;
a plurality of LEDs attached to the substrate unit and coupled to the power connecting unit;
a heat dissipation unit bent a plurality of times and having a plurality of ridge portions and a plurality of furrow portions, wherein the substrate unit is mounted on the ridge portions;
a casing attached to the heat dissipation unit wherein the casing having a plurality of vent holes;
a cover connected with the casing, such that the cover is disposed above the LEDs;
a gasket between the cover and the casing; and
a ventilation channel between the casing and the heat dissipation unit which provides an air flow path between the vent holes of the casing and the furrow portions of the heat dissipation unit,
wherein the furrow portions comprise a plurality of first furrow portions extending in parallel with each other and a plurality of second furrow portions extending in parallel with each other, wherein the first furrow portions and the second furrow portions are perpendicular to each other,
each of the furrow portions has a rounded bottom edge,
the furrow portion in the middle of the heat dissipation unit is deeper than the furrow portion at an outer side of the heat dissipation unit, and
a lower surface of the heat dissipation unit is coated with a porous heat-dissipation complex.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The LED light fixture of claim 1, wherein the substrate unit is plural in number.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The LED light fixture of claim 1, wherein the casing is in a form of a hexahedron with a rectangular horizontal cross-section and a rectangular longitudinal cross-section.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The LED light fixture of claim 1, wherein the casing has a form of an ellipse, and is curved to have a dome shape.
