Abstract
A light emitting diode (LED) system that includes a LED, a heat sink, a fan housing, a fan, and a cover is disclosed. The heat sink is typically coupled to the LED, and the fan housing is typically coupled to the heat sink opposite the LED. The fan housing includes a fan housing aperture that extends through the fan housing and at least partially houses the fan. A cover may be coupled to the fan housing opposite the heat sink. The system may include at least one air intake opening and at least one air exhaust opening. When activated, the fan may external air into the fan housing through the air intake opening and direct the air toward the heat sink and ultimately through the air exhaust opening. In so doing, the temperature of the heat sink and the LED is reduced.
Claims16
A light emitting diode (LED) lighting system, comprising:
- one or more LEDs;
- a heat sink coupled to the one or more LEDs;
- a fan housing coupled to the heat sink opposite the one or more LEDs, the fan housing comprising a fan housing aperture extending therethrough;
- a fan coupled to the fan housing and positioned at least partially within the fan housing aperture;
- a cover coupled to the fan housing opposite the heat sink;
- and
- a power adapter electrically coupled to the fan and removably coupled to the cover opposite outside the fan housing between opposing cover walls;
- wherein the fan housing further comprises a fan mount positioned within a sloped body at least partially surrounding the fan housing aperture, and a cylindrical rim on an end of the sloped body.
A light emitting diode (LED) cooling assembly, comprising:
- a heat sink;
- a fan housing coupled to the heat sink, the fan housing comprising a fan housing aperture extending therethrough;
- a fan coupled to the fan housing and positioned at least partially within the fan housing aperture;
- a fan housing cover coupled to the fan housing opposite the heat sink;
- and
- a power adapter removably coupled to the fan housing cover opposite the fan housing, the power adapter seated against an outer surface of the fan housing cover between at least two opposing walls of the fan housing cover extending in a direction away from the fan housing.
