Abstract
An LED device includes a multi-sided heat spreader element with a longitudinal multi-sided wall at least partly enclosing an internal space, with a plurality of LEDs mounted to the outer surface the heat spreader element, and a flow space for a cooling medium in the internal space. The tubular heat spreader element has at least one layer of a thermally conductive metal which is bendable from a flat shape to the multi-sided shape. The multi-sided shape may be tubular with a smoothly curved or multi-faceted polygonal wall. The wall of the LED device may incorporate two-phase cooling elements such as vapor chambers to maintain the LEDs at a constant temperature, and may include a temperature-controlled fan unit to control the LED temperature, and also control the wavelength and frequency of light emitted by the LEDs. A method for manufacturing the LED device is also disclosed.
