Abstract
A lighting apparatus is shown and described. In one aspect, the lighting apparatus includes a light source, a plate, and frame. The light source can include one or more lighting elements that are in thermal communication with the light source. The plate can have a dissipative portion extending outward from a point of thermal communication between the plate and the light source. The frame can at least partially enclose the light source and may also be in thermal communication therewith.

24. A luminaire comprising:
-
a housing; a frame defining a lens perimeter; a light source within the frame, the frame defining an outer perimeter which is wider than the frame at the lens perimeter creating an inwardly sloped portion of the frame; and a plate in thermal communication with the frame and having a dissipative portion protruding away from the housing and extending to be substantially parallel to the inwardly sloped portion of the frame, the dissipative portion defining a heat dissipation surface and its parallel protrusion angles the heat dissipation surface toward cooler areas. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
