Patent ID: 8858034

Claim:
A device for producing light, comprising: a housing configured to receive a light producing assembly that includes at least one electronics package which generates heat; and a plurality of vents configured in the housing to permit an air flow through the housing to conduct the generated heat out of the housing, wherein the light producing assembly comprises: a plurality of printed circuit boards (PCBs) spaced at an interval and connected by a plurality of pins, the plurality of pins being configured to conduct at least a portion of the generated heat from the at least one electronics package mounted on at least one of the PCBs into the interval so that the air flow passes through the interval and out of the housing, wherein the plurality of PCBs comprise: a first printed circuit board (PCB) that includes a first PCB first surface and the at least one electronics package disposed on the first PCB first surface; a second PCB; and the plurality of pins arranged with the first PCB to the second PCB, the plurality of pins forming an array within the interval, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of pins connect to the first PCB proximate the at least one electronics package such that at least a portion of heat generated by the at least one electronics package, and wherein the first PCB further comprises; a first PCB second surface; a first core; a first metal layer configured to define a first trace disposed on the first core first surface; and a second metal layer configured to define a second trace disposed on the first core second surface, wherein the first core is interposed between the first metal layer and the second metal layer, and wherein the first trace is in electrical communication with the second trace, and wherein one electronics package is in electrical communication with the first trace.
