Abstract:
1. A heat transfer system for a light emitting diode (LED) lamp, said LED lamp comprising a board surface configured to generate heat energy during an operation of the LED lamp, said LED lamp positioned within a lamp body and mounted within a recessed housing for separating an attic having a first temperature from a room having a second temperature, said second temperature being lower than said first temperature, wherein the lamp body is mounted within the recessed housing at an opening in a ceiling of the room, said ceiling for separating the attic having the first temperature from the room having the second temperature, said system comprising: a trim positioned within the room, wherein said trim comprises: a heat pipe having a first end mounted to the board surface, and a second end mounted to the trim, to transfer the heat energy from the board surface to the trim and to dissipate the heat energy from the trim within the room; and an air flow device configured to generate a flow of air along the trim, said trim configured to direct the generated flow of air in an outward radial direction over the trim, to enhance the dissipation of the heat energy from the trim within the room.
