To provide an electric light bulb type light source apparatus capable of reducing backlash, which results in noise, and improving the sound quality of a speaker. The electric light bulb type light source apparatus may include a speaker, a light source unit, a supporting unit, a casing, and a base. The supporting unit may support the speaker. The supporting unit may include a base portion. The base portion may include a tapered surface and a supporting surface that supports the light source unit. The casing may include an abutting surface that abuts against the tapered surface of the base portion. The base maybe used for supplying a power to the light source unit and the speaker.

The LED lamp has a relatively long, narrow configuration similar to that of CFL bulbs. Because the lamp operates at relatively high power and produces significant lumens, a significant amount of heat is generated by the LED assembly. The interior envelope of the lamp, defined in traditional CFL bulbs by the fluorescent tubes, is used to house a heat sink having a shape and dimensions to fit inside of the form factor of the CFL tubes. The heat sink substantially fills the interior space of the optically transmissive enclosure in order to provide maximum surface area for dissipating heat from the LEDs. A plurality of fins may extend from the heat sink to the exterior of the lamp to dissipate heat from the LEDs to the ambient environment.

A novel heat sinking technology, uniquely adaptive to LED lighting devices in a generally LED array format containing multiple openings on said heat sink's base portions and optionally fin portions providing “short path cooling” technology. The “short path cooling” technology is thoroughly taught with multiple examples. Also taught, are methods of heat sink area maintenance when said openings are placed on said heat sinks. Indeed, even surface area increases are shown to be possible when multiple openings are placed on said heat sinks. Lastly, other non-LED semiconductor cooling is discussed and illustrated in various figures using said “short path cooling” technology.

A system and method to promote biological responses within incubated eggs using lighting devices within an incubation chamber. A light supporting device is installed within the incubation chamber in spaced relation to an incubation device housing a plurality of eggs. The light supporting device is positioned to direct light at pre-determined wavelengths into the interior cavity of the incubation device to irradiate the plurality of eggs to promote a biological response within the eggs.

The present invention relates to a lighting device (11) comprising a light emitting portion with at least two solid state light sources, SSL (18). The light emitting portion includes a first cover member (12a) with a first light source carrier (13a) and a first light transmitting portion (14), a second cover member (12b) with a second light source carrier (13b) and a second light transmitting portion (14). The first and second cover member are arranged such that a first light transmitting portion is aligned with the second SSL to allow transmission of light emitted from the second SSL through the first cover member, and a second light transmitting portion is aligned with the first SSL to allow transmission of light emitted from the first SSL through the second cover member. According to this design, light emitted from an SSL on one cover member will be transmitted through the other cover member. Dissipation of heat from each SSL may be provided in the other direction, i.e. in a direction opposite to the light emitting direction of each SSL.
