Claim Text:
1. A light with integrated light and thermal guides, comprising: a light source; a light section having a first side and a second side opposite the first side; a light guide, coupled to the second side of the light section, comprising a material having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface and a first end at a first edge between the first and second surfaces and a second open end at a second edge between the first and second surfaces opposite the first end, wherein the light guide is in communication to the light source for receiving and distributing light from the light source, and the light is transported within the light guide until the light exits from the first or second surface, wherein the light source is located at the first edge of the light guide in order to optically couple the light into the light guide at the first edge, wherein the light guide has a flared shape where the light guide diverges outward from the first end to the second end with the second end having a larger opening at the second edge to an area created by the second surface than the first end at the first edge; and a thermal guide coupled to the light section external to the light guide for providing thermal conduction from the light source for cooling the light.
