ILLUMINATION DEVICE AND MOTOR VEHICLE HEADLIGHT COMPRISING AN ILLUMINATION DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to an illumination device, in particular for a vehicle headlight, comprising at least one semi-conductor light source arrangement (4, 4') which is thermally coupled to at least one cooling body (1) by means of at least one heat pipe (3). The at least one heat pipe (3) is embodied as a power supply element used to establish an electric connection between the at least one semi-conductor light source arrangement (4, 4') and an electric device (6) for operating the semi-conductor light source arrangement (4, 4').
