Abstract
A heat-sink assembly is configured with two parts to grip a light-emitting element and produce a transverse force urging a surface of the light-emitting element toward a surface of the heat-sink assembly, which conducts heat away from the light-emitting element. Fastening mechanisms and a fulcrum inter-connect the heat-sink parts and produce the force that grips the light-emitting element. A configuration of the heat-sink parts creates a semi-enclosed space accessible through a gap. A configuration of elastomeric gaskets within the semi-enclosed space protects a portion of the space from intrusion of liquids or other environmental influences. Configuration of the heat-sink parts to form a recess in the heat-sink assembly provides protection of the light-emitting element from mechanical damage, and the recess may contain transparent materials that further protect the light-emitting element from detrimental environmental influences.
