Claim:
A solid state lighting device comprising: a base end; at least one solid state emitter; a light-transmissive cover arranged to cover the at least one solid state emitter and transmit at least a portion of emissions generated by the at least one solid state emitter; and a heatsink disposed between the base end and the at least one solid state emitter, and arranged to dissipate heat generated by the at least one solid state emitter; wherein: the heatsink comprises a first heatsink end and comprises a first width at the first heatsink end; the heatsink comprises a second heatsink end and comprises a second width at the second heatsink end; the base end is closer to the first heatsink end than to the second heatsink end; at least a portion of the heatsink disposed between the first heatsink end and the second heatsink end comprises a third width that is greater than the second width; and the heatsink comprises a maximum width dimension that is substantially equal to a corresponding maximum width dimension of the cover.
