Patent ID: 8421322

Claim:
An LED light bulb device comprising: a bulb body defining an open interior region, wherein a shape of the bulb body defines an axial centerline; an LED assembly including: a substrate, a plurality of light emitting diode lights maintained by the substrate, each of the light emitting diode lights defining a front face from which light is emitted and a rear face opposite the front face, circuitry including power conversion circuitry adapted to modify applied power for powering the light emitting diode lights, and connective circuitry connecting the plurality of light emitting diode lights and the power conversion circuitry, wherein the connective circuitry is maintained at least in part by the substrate; and a heatsink mounted to the bulb body and connected to the substrate, wherein at least a portion of the heatsink is not covered by the bulb body and is directly exposed to an external environment of the device; wherein the heatsink locates at least one of the light emitting diode lights relative to the bulb body such that the front face of the at least one light emitting diode light is aimed inwardly toward the interior region of the bulb body, and the front face of the at least one light emitting diode light is closer to the axial centerline than the corresponding rear face.
