Abstract: LED-based lighting apparatus and assembly methods in which mechanical and/or thermal coupling between respective components is accomplished via a transfer of force from one component to another. In one example, a multiple-LED assembly is disposed in thermal communication with a heat sink that forms part of a housing. A primary optical element situated within a pressure-transfer member is disposed above and optically aligned with each LED. A shared secondary optical facility forming another part of the housing is disposed above and compressively coupled to the pressure-transfer members. A force exerted by the second optical facility is transferred via the pressure-transfer members so as to press the LED assembly toward the heat sink, thereby facilitating heat transfer. In one aspect, the LED assembly is secured in the housing without the need for adhesives. In another aspect, the secondary optical facility does not directly exert pressure onto any primary optical element, thereby reducing optical misalignment.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing theatrical illumination. In one example, a modular lighting fixture (300) has an essentially cylindrically-shaped housing (320) including first openings (325) for providing an air path through the lighting fixture. An LED-based lighting assembly (350) is disposed in the housing and comprises an LED module (360) including a plurality of LED light sources (104), a first control circuit (368, 370, 372) for controlling the light sources, and a fan (376) for providing a flow of cooling air along the air path. An end unit (330) is removably coupled to the housing and has second openings (332). A second control circuit (384) is disposed in the end unit, and electrically coupled to and substantially thermally isolated from the first control circuit. The lighting assembly is configured to direct the flow of the cooling air toward the at least one first control circuit so as to effectively remove heat.
