Abstract

A lamp is provided with multiple light emitting elements such as e.g., LEDs, positioned about a heat sink. The heat sink contains an active cooling device that provides a flow of air over the heat sink to transfer heat away from the light emitting elements. One or more optical elements are positioned over the light emitting elements to e.g., assist in light distribution. The lamp construction improves the dissipation of heat while also providing for a more omni-directional distribution of light intensity. Embodiments of the lamp can be provided with one or more features to enhance aesthetic appeal and improve manufacturability.
