Abstract
Methods and devices are provided for an improved light source. In one exemplary embodiment a light source includes a heat sink, a LED die, and a phosphor dome. A conductive material can be disposed in the heat sink, the LED die can be mounted to a top portion of the conductive material such that the LED die is in electrical contact with the heat sink, and the phosphor dome can be coupled to a top face of the heat sink. In another embodiment, a light source includes a heat sink, a sleeve, a LED package, and an optic. A conductive material can be disposed in the heat sink, the sleeve can be disposed around at least a portion of the heat sink and the conductive material, the LED package can be mounted above the conductive material, and the optic can be located above the LED package and coupled to the sleeve. The light sources disclosed herein can be used to replace existing miniature bulbs in a number of different devices, including medical devices such as otoscopes.
