Abstract
An outdoor area light has a housing, a light source comprised of a printed circuit board, a plurality of LEDs, and a heat sink. The heat sink is disposed in thermally conductive proximity to said light source to conduct heat away from it for temperature control. The light source and heat sink are mounted in the housing. A passive impeller is mounted on the housing. A separate active impeller is also mounted on the housing. A conduit for air is in fluid communication with the active impeller and disposed to direct cooling air over the light source and/or the heat sink. The printed circuit board and/or the heat sink and/or their mounts have holes through them. The holes define fluid throughways disposed to convect heat away from the light source via air moving through the throughways. The fluid throughways may be sufficiently aligned to establish laminar flow through them. In high heat, the active impeller is engaged to cool the light; otherwise the passive impeller keeps the light cool.
