  • Publication number: 20170016609
    Abstract: A light emitting diode luminaire with effective heat dissipation. The luminaire includes a luminaire housing, an LED light module having at least one LED mounted to a circuit board, a first thermal interface, and a second thermal interface. At least a portion of the first thermal interface is interposed between the circuit board and the second thermal interface. At least a portion of the second thermal interface is interposed between the first thermal interface and the luminaire housing. The first thermal interface and the second thermal interface provide a conductive path for heat from the circuit board to the luminaire housing.

  • Patent number: 9482395
    Abstract: An LED luminaire includes a thermal management system and features minimal glare while allowing for use of traditional luminaire housing. The luminaire of the depicted embodiments includes a luminaire housing, an LED light module, an LED driver, a diffuser, and reflectors. The LED light module includes at least one LED array, a primary thermal interface, and a secondary thermal interface. These thermal interfaces, particularly when used in conjunction with a conductive housing, allow for optimal thermal management by utilizing both natural convection and conduction to remove the heat from inside the luminaire into the surrounding air. Additionally, in certain embodiments, the position of the LED arrays within the housing in combination with the reflector design creates an optical path resulting in an indirect light source that minimizes glare, while providing a uniform distribution of light, unlike traditional LED luminaires.
