Abstract: Electrical lighting housings and heat sinks constructed of pitch-based carbon fiber that act as heat sinks for light emitting diode (“LED”/“LEDs”) lights. Greater heat dissipation cools the LED lights and power suppling components, which in turns increases the life span of these components, without the need for active cooling. Due to the improved physical strength of pitch-based carbon fiber over aluminum and other typical heat sink and housing materials, the wall thickness of a housing can be decreased when using pitch-based carbon fiber which can further aid in thermal transfer.
