INSIDE-OUT LED BULB
First Claim
1. An LED based light comprising:
- a base having a first end and a second end;
a light structure adjacent to the base and extending along a longitudinal axis of the light;
wherein the light structure includes an inner surface and an outer surface and defines a cavity;
a heat dissipating structure extending into the cavity; and
at least one LED mounted in thermally conductive relation to the heat dissipating structure.

Abstract
An LED based light comprises a base, a light structure, a heat dissipating structure, and at least one LED. The light structure is adjacent to the base and extends along a longitudinal axis of the light. The light structure includes an inner surface and an outer surface and defines a cavity, and the heat dissipating structure extends into the cavity. At least one LED is mounted in thermally conductive relation to the heat dissipating structure. In one version, the light structure is an annular flange, and an organic LED is mounted to the outer surface. In another version, the light structure is a light pipe configured to distribute a light produced by the at least one LED in a predetermined light distribution.
