Abstract: An ion wind fan can be incorporated into a solid-state lighting device to thermally manage the lighting device. In one embodiment, the lighting device has the approximate shape of an A-series light bulb and an A-series light bulb and includes a bulb body, a bulb cover coupled to the bulb body defining a bulb cavity and one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs) located inside the bulb cavity. The lighting device further includes a heat pipe to transfer heat from the one or more LEDs to one or more heat sinks, and an ion wind fan to generate an airflow in impinging on the one or more heat sinks.

Abstract: Ion wind fans generate ozone. To more effectively catalyze ozone, in one embodiment, the present invention includes a heat sink having contoured heat sink fins that are coated with an ozone catalyst.

Abstract: Ion wind fans produce ozone. In one embodiment, a heat sink used in conjunction with an ion wind fan includes at least one ozone catalyst fin coated with an ozone catalyst, to destroy at least some of the ozone produced by the ion wind fan. In one embodiment, the ozone catalyst fan protrudes from the downstream side of the heat sink towards the ion wind fan.
