METHOD OF CONVEYING HEAT FROM A LIGHT EMITTING DIODE ASSEMBLY

摘要

A method of conveying heat from a light emitting diode assembly. The method includes providing a light emitting diode assembly having a body that has a substrate with driving circuitry and a plurality of light emitting diodes that produce heat that is conveyed to a heat transfer element. The heat transfer element has a continuously engaged interface with the ceiling of a dwelling when secured. In this manner heat is conveyed from the heat transfer element to the ceiling of the dwelling to dissipate heat from the assembly, thus presenting a light emitting diode assembly with a low profile.

1. A method of conveying heat from a light emitting diode assembly, steps comprising:
providing a light emitting diode assembly having a body with a continuously extending heat transfer element, securing a substrate having driving circuitry and a plurality of light emitting diodes thereon to the body to convey heat from the driving circuitry to the heat transfer element; forming a continuously engaged interface along the entire length of the body between the heat transfer element and a ceiling of a dwelling when securing the light emitting diode assembly to the ceiling of the dwelling; and conveying heat from the heat transfer element to the ceiling of the dwelling to dissipate heat from the assembly.
