Abstract
A modular heat sink adapter (10) is provided which is compact in design and comprises of a highly heat conductive metal (12) with a varying number of extruded fins (14) for the prompt and efficient removal of heat directly off the lamp bases (36) of various types of halogen lamps (32). The primary purpose for the heat sink adapter (10) is to keep lamp base seals (38) from reaching their critical pinch area temperature, thereby prolonging the life and usefulness of the lamps. The major improvement of this device over prior designs is its versatility and ease of use with various types of halogen lamps (32) available from different bulb manufacturers for use in a variety of light fixtures.
