Abstract
Illumination devices are disclose having at least three thermally conductive fins that are attached to each other adjacent a central location and extend outward from the central location, with each of the fins having an opposed pair of major surfaces. The devices include a plurality of light-emitting diodes that emit light and produce heat, with at least one of the light-emitting diodes being mounted on each of the fins. The heat from the light-emitting diode flows along the fin and is radiated from at least one of the major surfaces, while the light from the light-emitting diode is reflected from the major surfaces of adjacent fins and exits the device.
