ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus providing a compact illumination device with interchangeable adaptable insert components and a light source heat sink feature are disclosed. A compact illumination device generates high quality illumination with interchangeable insert components enabling the illumination device to functioning independently or in conjunction with existing devices. The heat sink feature includes a heat sink module adaptable to single or multiple LED configurations to provide optimal light quality for differing applications. The heat sink feature provides optimal heat dissipation from the light source and circuitry to maximize functional life of both the components. The illumination device has multiple operational modes that are customizable for application-specific requirements and controlled through mechanisms fully integrated into the housing assembly. The interchangeability of adaptable insert components configurations within the housing assembly reduces manufacturing burden and overall cost to produce each illumination device.
