Abstract: Disclosed is a method of making an LED light bulb using a plurality of surface mount light emitting diodes mounted on a variety of semiregular polyhedrons and optimizing the number and placement of the surface mount light emitting diodes for the widest lighting angle (to achieve as close to 360-degrees in three dimensions) with a heat sink matched to the thermal output of the surface mount light emitting diodes and the heat conductive capacity of the polyhedron. Also described are a light emitting diode light bulb made using a plurality of surface mount light emitting diodes mounted on a variety of semiregular polyhedrons. Some embodiments may include a heat conductor comprising a plurality of curved-T shaped heat fins.

Abstract: A heat sink structure formed out of mechanisms which may include petals and stems, and which may be characterized by configurations which include rosettes and umbels. Each heat sink structure being generally comprised of multiple petals and one or more stems which are capable of interlocking with each other through use of various mechanical connector elements, which may include fin, claw and ball features. Each petal typically having a plurality of fins, claws and balls, intended to create hinge-like properties for maximizing the number and types of heat sinks which may be expressed. Advantageously, a plurality of expandable, connectable and adjustable heat sinks may be formed to optimize heat dispersion and allow for a plurality of lighting sources to be accommodated as desired.
