1. A lighting platform for mounting one or more LEDs comprising:
- a bottom cover having a bottom surface and first and second side channels formed at opposite corners thereof, the first and second side channels each comprising inner and outer sidewalls spaced apart so as to define an upwardly facing opening running down the length of said bottom cover;
a circuit board mounted to said bottom surface and carrying one or more LEDs;
an upper housing having first and second downwardly extending surfaces, an inner side of the first downwardly extending surface contacting the inner side wall of said first side channel and an inner side of the second downwardly extending surface contacting the inner sidewall of said second channel; and
respective threaded fastening devices inserted through said first and second side channels and angled upwardly and threaded into a respective one of said first and second downwardly extending surfaces of said upper housing to thereby attach said bottom cover to said upper housing.

11. A lighting platform for mounting one or more LEDs comprising:
-
a bottom cover formed of heat transmissive material and having respective first and second side channels formed at opposite corners thereof, the first and second side channels each comprising a horizontal bottom edge and a vertical side edge; a circuit board carrying one or more LEDs mounted to an undersurface of said bottom cover; an upper housing formed of heat transmissive material and having first and second downwardly extending end tip surfaces; and respective first and second screws inserted through said first and second side channels and angled upwardly and threaded into said first and second end tip surfaces to thereby attach said bottom cover to said upper housing, said respective screws being tightened to a tightness selected to establish heat transfer between the bottom cover and upper housing for thermal management purposes. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A lighting platform for mounting one or more LEDs comprising:
-
a bottom cover having respective first and second side channels formed at opposite corners thereof, the first and second side channels each comprising a horizontal bottom edge and a vertical side edge; an upper housing configured to mate with the bottom cover and having first and second downwardly extending end tip surfaces on opposite sides thereof; respective first and second fastening devices inserted through said first and second side channels and angled upwardly and threaded into a respective one of said downwardly extending end tip surfaces to thereby attach said bottom cover to said upper housing; wherein each respective downwardly extending end tip surface extends beneath an end of a respective fastening device and is shaped and dimensioned such that, if the bottom cover is properly mated and aligned with the upper housing, the respective first and second fastening devices bite in and pull the bottom cover and upper housing together, whereas, if the bottom cover and upper housing are misaligned, the respective fastening devices will not bite and hold at all. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
