Hybrid illuminator

摘要

The present invention relates to an illuminator apparatus comprising one or more LEDs and one or more current control components and/or other illuminator components coupled in a thermally conductive manner to a circuit board. The circuit board, in turn, is in a thermally conductive manner integrated into a cooling element which serves as a frame part of the illuminator in order to transfer heat generated by the LEDs and the current control components and/or the other components through the circuit board to the cooling element and therefrom further to other structures of the illuminator and to an ambient environment.

主权项

1. An illuminator apparatus comprising a circuit board, at least one LED, at least one current-limiting converter, and at least one cooling element, wherein the LED and the current-limiting converter are mounted and coupled in a thermally conductive manner to the circuit board, and the cooling element serves as a frame part of the illuminator and is integrated into the circuit board in a thermally conductive manner in order to transfer heat generated by the LED and the current-limiting converter away from the circuit board and to other structures of the illuminator and to an ambient environment such that the LED and the current-limiting converter are cooled with the cooling element being common.
