Patent ID: 7198387

Claim:
A light fixture comprising: a housing made of thermally conductive material, wherein the housing includes a first side, a second side, and a crossbar connecting the first side to the second side, wherein the second side is displaced from the first side, wherein the crossbar has an upper surface and a lower surface, and the printed circuit board is attached to the upper surface of the crossbar, a printed circuit board supported by the housing; and a light emitting diode unit that is mounted on the housing with a layer of adhesive, the light emitting diode having leads that are electrically connected to the printed circuit board, wherein an electrically insulating material is disposed between the light emitting diode unit and the housing, wherein at least one mesa extends along the upper surface of the crossbar, the printed circuit board includes an opening that accommodates a metal back surface of the light emitting diode unit, and a thermal path extends from back surface of the light emitting diode unit to the at least one mesa.
