Abstract
A wall-mounted light fixture comprises an LED-mounting surface having one or more LED's mounted thereon to serve as a primary source of illumination for the wall-mounted light fixture. This wall-mounted light fixture also generally comprises a house that contains the one or more LED's. This housing also comprises, on a side that is directly thermally coupled to the LED(s) and that is oriented towards and disposed closest to the aforementioned vertical wall (when the wall-mounted light fixture is properly mounted on the vertical wall), a heat sink. This heat sink is thermally coupled to the LED-mounting surface and has an exterior portion shaped to have a large surface area to thereby substantially increase a heat-exchange capacity of the heat sink.
