  • Publication number: 20160153647
    Abstract: A modular heat dissipation assembly (2) used for a light emitting device (100) is presented. It comprises a base (22), which comprises a first number of arrangements (23), for thermally coupling to a light source (31) of the light emitting device (100); and a second number of heat conducting elements (21) which are attached to the base (22) via the arrangements (23), and the second number varies from zero to a maximum equal to the first number, so that a thermal capacity of the modular heat dissipation assembly matches a predetermined thermal load of the light emitting device. In one aspect, configurations to maintain a chimney effect with the modular heat dissipation assembly are presented. A luminaire comprising such a heat dissipation assembly and the manufacturing method for the heat dissipation assembly are also presented.
