Abstract: A backlight module and the heat-dissipating structure thereof are provided. An electrode sheath, with high thermal conductivity and electrical insulation, is arranged to hold the electrode of the lamp and to make a contact with the front bezel and the back bezel, which are made of high thermal-conductive material. Hence, the heat energy produced by the lamp will be conducted to the front band back bezels through the electrode sheath.

Abstract: A lighting system for illuminating artwork includes a housing; a lamp mounted within said housing and including a halogen bulb and a reflector, said reflector having a dichroic coating; a linear spread lens positioned in front of said lamp and having an etched portion covering less than one hundred percent of a first surface of said lens; and a door associated with said housing and defining an opening therein, said opening having a flattened portion and a rounded portion, said linear spread lens positioned over said opening, and the light emitted by the lighting system being directed through said linear spread lens and said opening. The resulting lighting system produces safe light diffused evenly substantially over the entire surface of a piece of artwork.
