Led lamp with direct optical coupling to an optical light guide having purality of light pipes in axial arrangement

摘要

An LED light source (10) comprises a heat sink (12) having a body (14) with a front surface (16) and a rear surface (18), the rear surface (18) being provided with heat dissipaters (20). The front surface (16) includes a pocket (22) for the receipt of components (24), the components including at least one LEDs (25) and electrical circuitry therefor. A housing (26) has a flange (28) and a tubular projection (30) fitted into the pocket (22) in a manner to fix the components (24) in the heat sink (12); and an optical light guide (32) having at least one light pipes (34) is positioned in the tubular projection (30), each of the at least one light pipes (34) having a light input end (34a) fixed in light gathering alignment with the at least one LEDs (25) in a one-to-one relationship.
