1. A lighting device, comprising:

  • a heat exchanger having a circuit board mounting surface curved along a lateral dimension and a longitudinal dimension, the lateral dimension perpendicular to the longitudinal dimension;

    at least a first circuit board including a number of electrically insulative layers and a number of electrically conductive paths, the first circuit board having a longitudinal dimension and a lateral dimension perpendicular to the longitudinal dimension, a first major outer face, and a second major outer face, the first and the second major outer faces on opposite sides of the first circuit board from one another, at least one thickness of the first circuit board defined between the first and the second major outer faces; and

    at least two solid state light emitters carried by the first circuit board and electrically coupled to the electrically conductive paths of the first circuit board, whereinat least the first circuit board is physically coupled to the circuit board mounting surface, such that the longitudinal dimension of the first circuit board is curved along the longitudinal dimension of the circuit board mounting surface and the lateral dimension of the first circuit board is curved along the lateral dimension of the circuit board mounting surface.
