Abstract
A method for coupling a thermal plate () and a housing () is disclosed. The method includes the steps of inserting the thermal plate () having a main area () and one or more folded panels () configured at an angle () from the main area () to allow the thermal plate () to be inserted within the housing () and stopping the thermal plate () within the housing () at a predetermined location using a stop support (). The one or more folded panels () are flattened using a pressing element () so that the angle from the main area () is substantially zero degrees so that the thermal plate () is physically and thermally coupled to an inside wall of the housing (). The thermal plate () within the housing () may be aligned using one or more groves () and grove guides (). The coupled thermal plate () and the housing may form part of a luminaire ().
