An LED assembly in which a heat pipe moves heat from an LED to a distal heat sink. A Light Emitting Diode (LED) 451 is mounted to a lighting surface, such as a circuit board 411. The LED is in thermal contact with a heat pipe 410 running adjacent to and in thermal contact with LED. A conductive metal structure 420, 414 serves as a distal heat sink. The heat pipe 410 extends from the LED to the heat sink, to conduct heat efficiently from the LED to the heat sink. |
