Abstract
An LED array is thermally coupled to a heat spreader and a heat sink. The heat sink has a base and a plurality of fins extending from the base. Each fin includes a lower portion which extends outwardly from the base and downwardly from the heat spreader, and an upper portion that extends upwardly from the base and is offset from the lower portion so as to form a junction. An aperture may be provided through each junction to allow air to pass therethrough. The heat spreader may also have fins.
