Patent ID: 7201492

Claim:
A lighting assembly comprising: a reflector cup having a rear surface, a front surface and an aperture extending through said reflector cup between said front surface and said rear surface, said reflector cup being thermally conductive; a circuit board having electrical contact pads disposed on a first surface thereof and a thermally conductive spreader plate affixed adjacent said first surface, wherein said circuit board is adjacent said rear surface of said reflector cup, said spreader plate being in thermal communication with said rear surface of said reflector cup; and a light emitting diode package having a front luminescent portion and a mounting base, said mounting base having a heat transfer plate on a rear surface thereof and first and second contact leads extending from the sides thereof, said light emitting diode mounted on said first surface of said circuit board, wherein said luminescent portion of said light emitting diode extends into said aperture, said first and second contact leads in electrical communication with said contact pads and said heat transfer plate being in thermal communication with said spreader plate, wherein said spreader plate conducts heat from said light emitting diode to said rear surface of said reflector cup.
