Abstract: A lighting unit comprises a solid state lighting element (10). An upper housing (18) forms a light mixing chamber (20) over the solid state lighting element (10) and a loop-shaped antenna (22) is held by the upper housing (18), wherein the upper housing (18) comprises a reflective inner wall at least where it defines the mixing chamber (20) and said solid state lighting element (10) is inside said reflective inner wall. This makes use of the component which defines the mixing chamber (20) to hold a loop-shaped antenna (22) in place above the lighting element (10) and therefore away from the heat generated by the lighting element (10) and away from any metallic heat sink or heat spreading components (16).

Abstract: A heat transfer device for transferring heat to a housing, comprising a heat spreader, at least one heat transfer plate mechanically connected to the heat spreader so as to be resiliently compressible towards the heat spreader when brought into contact with the housing, and at least one heat pipe thermally connected to each heat transfer plate and to the heat spreader. The resilient compressibility of the heat transfer plates makes the heat transfer device flexible, such that it may adapt to a different shape of housing. In contrast to known thermal interfaces, the thermal interface of the heat transfer device of the invention is not mechanically connected to the housing in which it is used, but connected to the heat spreader, and may instead be pressed into contact with the housing, without mechanical fixation.

Abstract: The invention provides a lighting device (104) and a luminaire (200). The lighting device comprises a light emitter (110) thermally connected to a heat sink (120). The lighting device further comprises a communication circuit (130) coupled to the heat sink for transmitting and/or receiving a communication signal. A first conductive part (122) of the heat sink comprises at least a first pole (142) of a dipole antenna (140) for transmitting and/or receiving the communication signal via the heat sink. This first pole of the dipole antenna may be induced via a primary radiator (160) to activate the gap (170).
