Abstract
An improved light emitting device, comprising a light emitting element affixed to a tapered quadrilateral mounting surface of a copper heatsink, is disclosed. The tapered mounting surface includes two slightly divergent mounting edges whereby the width of the mounting surface varies to accommodate light emitting elements of varying sizes. The angle of divergence between the two mounting edges should be kept small to provide accurate facet-to-edge alignment of the light emitting element to the mounting surface.
