ABSTRACT:
An LED light pipe assembly includes a light pipe; a heat sink portion; an LED mounted on a substrate in optical communication with the light pipe; and a carrier portion for receiving the light pipe and providing electrical interconnections to the LED. The heat sink portion includes a plurality of fins and a plurality of hollow frame portions configured to dissipate heat generated by the light pipe assembly. Attachment features are provided on the heat sink for attaching the heat sink to the carrier portion. The heat sink portion also includes a hollow cavity for receiving the substrate. The carrier portion is insertable into the cavity in abutting relation with the substrate to secure the substrate in contact against the heat sink.
