A cooling device for dissipating heat from an object , the cooling device comprising: - a base part arranged to be in contact with the object, - a plurality of fins attached to and protruding from the base part in a direction substantially away from the object when in use, wherein the fins are arranged in a first configuration adapted for heat dissipation by natural convection due to still ambient air conditions and in a second configuration adapted for heat dissipation by forced convection due to ambient air movement conditions, wherein the fins of the first configuration are positioned on a first region of the base part and the fins of the second configuration are positioned on a second region of the base part, wherein the second region at least partly overlaps the first region on the base part, wherein the fins of the first configuration have one characteristic and the fins of the second configuration have another characteristic across the same area of the base part as the fins of the first configuration, and wherein the fins are arranged as parallel plates and the characteristic of the fins of the first configuration is achieved by openings in the plates to facilitate natural convection of air, while the characteristic of the fins of the second configuration is achieved by limited spacing between the plates for forced convection of air. - a base part arranged to be in contact with the object, - a plurality of fins attached to and protruding from the base part in a direction substantially away from the object when in use, wherein the fins are arranged in a first configuration adapted for heat dissipation by natural convection due to still ambient air conditions and in a second configuration adapted for heat dissipation by forced convection due to ambient air movement conditions, wherein the fins of the first configuration are positioned on a first region of the base part and the fins of the second configuration are positioned on a second region of the base part, wherein the second region at least partly overlaps the first region on the base part, wherein the fins of the first configuration have one characteristic and the fins of the second configuration have another characteristic across the same area of the base part as the fins of the first configuration, and wherein the fins are arranged as parallel plates and the characteristic of the fins of the first configuration is achieved by openings in the plates to facilitate natural convection of air, while the characteristic of the fins of the second configuration is achieved by limited spacing between the plates for forced convection of air. wherein the fins are arranged in a first configuration adapted for heat dissipation by natural convection due to still ambient air conditions and in a second configuration adapted for heat dissipation by forced convection due to ambient air movement conditions, wherein the fins of the first configuration are positioned on a first region of the base part and the fins of the second configuration are positioned on a second region of the base part, wherein the second region at least partly overlaps the first region on the base part, wherein the fins of the first configuration have one characteristic and the fins of the second configuration have another characteristic across the same area of the base part as the fins of the first configuration, and wherein the fins are arranged as parallel plates and the characteristic of the fins of the first configuration is achieved by openings in the plates to facilitate natural convection of air, while the characteristic of the fins of the second configuration is achieved by limited spacing between the plates for forced convection of air. <EOS>
