Light fixture assembly having improved heat dissipation capabilities
First Claim
1. A light fixture assembly having heat dissipating capabilities, said light fixture assembly comprising:
- an illumination assembly,a mounting assembly disposed in supporting engagement with said illumination assembly,said mounting assembly formed of a heat conductive material and disposed in heat transferring engagement with said illumination assembly, said mounting assembly structured to dissipate heat from said illumination assembly,a cover structure formed of a heat conductive material and connected in heat transferring engagement with said mounting assembly, said cover structure disposed and structured to dissipate heat from said mounting assembly,correspondingly positioned surfaces of said mounting assembly and said cover structure disposed in substantially continuously confronting and heat transferring engagement with one another over a majority of said mounting assembly,said illumination assembly disposed in direct confronting, heat transferring engagement with said correspondingly positioned surface of said mounting assembly,said heat conductive material of each of said cover structure and said mounting assembly being sufficiently heat conductive to collectively define a heat sink, andsaid cover structure and said mounting assembly defining said heat sink being disposed and structured to collectively dissipate heat away from said illumination assembly, andsaid illumination assembly and said cover structure relatively disposed and cooperatively structured to direct light outwardly from an exposed, outer surface of said cover structure.

Abstract
A light fixture assembly including an illumination assembly in the form of one or more light emitting diodes is interconnected to an electrical energy source by control circuitry. A mounting assembly supports the illumination assembly and a cover structure is disposed in heat transferring relation to the mounting assembly, wherein both the mounting assembly and the cover structure are formed of conductive material, thereby effectively dissipating the heat generated by the LED illumination assembly. The illumination assembly is connected to a source and electric energy by a conductor assembly comprising one or more conductive material connectors mechanically interconnecting components of the light fixture into an assembled orientation. A non-conductive insulation assembly isolates each of the one or more conductive connectors from the mounting assembly to avoid electrical contact there between.
