Claim Text:
1. A retrofit high intensity discharge lighting fixture, comprising: a housing that before being retrofit included a high intensity discharge light source, a high intensity discharge lens, and a high intensity discharge lighting fixture chamber defined between the housing and the high intensity discharge lens, the housing excluding a routinely functioning high intensity discharge light source and excluding the high intensity discharge lens, the housing including at least a first support for a hereinafter-stated plurality of light emitting diode light sources, the first support being in place of the high intensity discharge lens, the housing thereby having a light emitting diode lighting fixture chamber between the first support and the housing; at least one element of a light emitting diode light being located within the light emitting diode lighting fixture chamber; a seal of the light emitting diode lighting fixture chamber between the first support and the housing; a second support for the hereinafter-stated light emitting diode light sources affixed at least to the first support and being positioned at least in part outside the light emitting diode lighting fixture chamber, the second support including a wiring channel and hereinafter-identified wiring passing through the wiring channel, an further including a heat sink; a third support outside the light emitting diode lighting fixture chamber, the third support mounted to the second support and the hereinafter-stated light emitting diode light sources being mounted to the third support; the above-referenced plurality of light emitting diode light sources, mounted as above-described so as to be outside the light emitting diode lighting fixture chamber; a plurality of light emitting light source lenses mounted and sealed to the third support, the light emitting diode light sources being sealed between the light emitting diode light source lenses and the third support, the number of light emitting light source lenses being such as to provide a lens for each of the plurality of light emitting diode light sources; and wiring connecting the light emitting diode light sources to power and connecting the light emitting diode light sources to the at least one element of a light emitting diode light that is located within the light emitting diode lighting fixture chamber; whereby the retrofit high intensity discharge lighting fixture is no longer a source of high intensity discharge light and is instead a source of light emitting diode light, and also whereby the light emitting diode light sources, being outside the light emitting diode lighting fixture chamber, are substantially free of exposure to the temperature effects of being within either the high intensity discharge lighting fixture chamber of the light emitting diode lighting fixture chamber.
