The device includes a heat sink within the housing and receiving heat generated by the array. The device includes a heat pipe within the housing and transmitting the heat away from the end of the housing. The device includes a heat spreader material on the inner surface of the housing and dissipating the heat. The distal portion of the heat pipe is in thermal contact with the heat sink and the proximal portion of the heat pipe is in thermal contact with the heat spreader material. The proximal portion and the distal portion have a flattened profile.
