Patent attributes
Described herein is a light emitting diode (LED) luminaire comprising a cylindrical plastic housing having a first open end and a second open end. At the first open end, an externally threaded formation terminating with a flange is formed to mate with an internally threaded mounting unit, and at the second open end, an internal ridge is formed with a circumferential groove at its base. Inside the cylindrical plastic housing, an aluminum heat sink is insert molded. The aluminum heat sink has a cylindrical profile matching with the internal profile of the plastic housing. The aluminum heat sink has an open end towards the first open end of the plastic housing and a closed end resting on the internal ridge at the second open end of the plastic housing. With the interior surface of the closed end of the aluminum heat sink, a printed circuit board (PCB) holder plate locks a PCB driver. At an exterior surface of the closed end of the aluminum heat sink, metal core PCB (MCPCB) for LED is mounted at an exterior surface of the closed end of the aluminum heat sink and is connected to the PCB driver for receiving driving current. On the top of the MCPCB, a plastic diffuser is mechanically locked in the circumferential groove formed at the base of the internal ridge so as to cover the MCPCB for LED.
