An LED-based light fixture that includes a light fixture housing forming a light emission aperture, one or more LEDs attached to a circuit board that is surrounded by the light fixture housing and emits light through the light emission aperture when powered. The LED-based light fixture further includes at least one flexible heat sink member that is thermally coupled with at least a portion of the circuit board and the light fixture housing.

Systems, methods, and devices for providing flexible heat sinks to light modules

A luminaire includes a single luminaire housing that includes thermally isolated light source and power control device compartments. At least one light source is disposed within the luminaire housing, and at least one power control device is disposed within a second, thermally isolated compartment. The light source and power control device compartments are separated by a chamber that includes a substantially nonconductive member, which prevents heat from the light source compartment from travelling to the power control device compartment. Thermally isolating the power control device from at least a portion of the heat generated by the light source allows the power control device to be disposed relatively close to the light source without becoming overheated and damaged. A hollow, threaded rod extends between and couples together the light source compartment and power control device compartment. Electric wires connecting the light source and power control device extends through the threaded rod, providing necessary electrical power in an aesthetically pleasing design.

Luminaire with thermally isolated compartments

An HID luminaire includes a single luminaire housing that includes thermally isolated lamp and ballast compartments. At least one HID lamp is disposed within the luminaire housing, and at least one ballast is disposed within the ballast compartment. The lamp and ballast compartments are separated by a chamber that includes a substantially nonconductive member, which prevents heat from the lamp compartment from travelling to the ballast compartment. Thermally isolating the ballast from at least a portion of the heat generated by the HID lamp allows the ballast to be disposed relatively close to the HID lamp without becoming overheated and damaged. A hollow, threaded rod extends between and couples together the lamp compartment and ballast compartment. Electric wires connecting the HID lamp and ballast extends through the threaded rod, providing necessary electrical power in an aesthetically pleasing design.
