THERMAL PATH FOR HEAT DISSIPATION IN A LINEAR LIGHT MODULE

A linear light module that uses a thermally conductive housing for dissipating heat generated by a lighting source within the housing is described. Light is thermally coupled away from the lighting source via a thermally conductive heating block. The heating block is thermally coupled to a thermally...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A linear light module that uses a thermally conductive housing for dissipating heat generated by a lighting source within the housing is described. Light is thermally coupled away from the lighting source via a thermally conductive heating block. The heating block is thermally coupled to a thermally conductive heat pipe that runs along the length of the housing, where the length of the housing is substantially the same length as the linear light module. The housing is extruded to include a channel that runs the length of the housing for holding the heat pipe. Because the housing is long, the heat is easily conducted from the housing.
