Abstract:
1. A modular luminaire which uses a plurality of LEDs as a light source, comprising: a plurality of heat sinks each having a proximal end, a distal end, a length defined between the proximal end and the distal end, a plurality of longitudinally oriented cooling fins, and supporting a plurality of LEDs which are located between the proximal end and the distal end; a proximal end piece disposed to support the proximal ends of each one of the heat sinks; a distal end piece disposed to support the distal ends of each one of the heat sinks; a plurality of through bolts disposed to extend from the proximal end piece to the distal end piece and to unite the proximal end piece and the distal end piece, and to draw the proximal end piece towards the distal end piece while entrapping each one of the heat sinks between the proximal end piece and the distal end piece; and electrical supply circuitry disposed to connect electrical power to each one of the LEDs.
