LIGHT EMITTING DIODE RECESSED LIGHT FIXTURE
A recessed light fixture includes an LED module, which includes a single LED package that is configured to generate all light emitted by the recessed light fixture. For example, the LED package can include multiple LEDs mounted to a common substrate. The LED package can be coupled to a heat sink for dissipating heat from the LEDs. The heat sink can include a core member from which fins extend. Each fin can include one or more straight and/or curved portions. A reflector housing may be coupled to the heat sink and configured to receive a reflector. The reflector can have any geometry, such as a bell-shaped geometry including two radii of curvature that join together at an inflection point. An optic coupler can be coupled to the reflector housing and configured to cover electrical connections at the substrate and to guide light emitted by the LED package.

Heat sink for forced convection cooler
The invention relates to a heat sink (1) for cooling a heat source, the heat sink comprising a heat distributor (12) comprising a 3-dimensional body with a side wall (13) arranged around a main axis (14), and a plurality of plates (11) coupled to and extending from the side wall, each of the plurality of plates being curved in a cross section perpendicular to the main axis, wherein the plates are twisted along the main axis (14) of the heat distributor. The present invention solves the excessive fin length issue that is needed for higher values of the external diameter vs. the internal diameter of the fins section. The fins have curvature in all directions, which is referred to as double curvature. This double curvature is the result of two curving of each fin in a radial direction and twisting of the fins along the axial direction.

COOLING ARRANGEMENT FOR COOLING AN APPARATUS
A cooling arrangement (1) for cooling of an apparatus (10) which in use may generate heat is disclosed. The cooling arrangement (1) comprises a first member (2), which comprises a first base (4) and a first spiral wrap (5) extending from the first base (4), and a second member (3), which comprises a second base (6) and a second spiral wrap (7) extending from the second base (6). The first spiral wrap (5) and the second spiral wrap (7) are interleaved. The first member (2) is configured to at least thermally couple the apparatus (10) thereto. At least one of the first member (2) and the second member (3) can be moved so as to result in an orbiting motion of one of the first spiral wrap (5) and the second spiral wrap (7) relatively to the other one of the first spiral wrap (5) and the second spiral wrap (7) such that a volume of fluid in at least one space between the first spiral wrap (5) and the second spiral wrap (7) progressively moves during the orbiting motion. Thereby, a flow of fluid between the first spiral wrap (5) and the second spiral wrap (7) is generated which cools the first member (2) by means of dissipation of heat generated by the apparatus (10) by way of transfer of heat from the first member (2) to the flow of fluid between the first spiral wrap (5) and the second spiral wrap (7).
