A light-generating device (1; 11) comprises at least one LED light source device (4) mounted on a front surface (7) of an MCPCB (2). The light-generating device (1; 11) further comprising a body (5) of open-cell metal foam, having a back surface (8) and a chamber (6) recessed in its back surface (8), the back surface (8) of the body (5) of open-cell metal foam being attached to the front surface (7) of the MCPCB (2) with the LED light source device (4) being arranged in the said chamber (6). The metal foam (5) preferably is aluminium, like the MCPCB (2). The metal foam (5) contributes substantially to the heat sinking and cooling of the device, effectively causes the output light to be diffused and become more homogenous, and provides a mechanical protection for the front side of the LED. |
