Abstract
An L.E.D. light emitting assembly () includes a heat sink () defined by independent elongated sections () upwardly from a base () in parallel relationship. L.E.D.s () are disposed on a mounting surface () and fins () are disposed on a heat transfer surface () of the elongated sections (). The elongated sections () and base () are pivotably connected at a hinge (). The hinge () can include a spring (). A spreader () can pivot the elongated sections () about the hinge (). A flexible stop () with a resilient tip () is attached to top ends () of the elongated sections (). The elongated sections () are held together by a retainer (), such as a band (), and inserted through a narrow opening () of a globe (). A deployment mechanism () moves the elongated sections () to a non-parallel position to fill the globe ().
