Patent ID: 8727566

Claim:
A method of converting a light fixture from a fluorescent light fixture to an LED light fixture, wherein the fluorescent light fixture has a sheet metal troffer, a fluorescent light power supply and receptacles for retaining fluorescent tube lights, said method comprising the steps of: providing a circuit board assembly that has a first surface and an opposite second surface, wherein a plurality of LEDs are mounted to said first surface, and wherein said plurality of LEDs produce heat when activated; providing an LED power supply; providing a length of thermally conductive tape; removing said fluorescent light power supply from said light fixture; installing said LED power supply into said light fixture; mounting second surface of said circuit board assembly flush against said sheet metal troffer with said length of thermally conductive tape, wherein said sheet metal troffer serves as a heat sink that conducts said heat away from said plurality of LEDs through said length of thermally conductive tape when plurality of LEDs are activated; and connecting said circuit board assembly to said LED power supply.
