Abstract
A power tool having a light source is provided. The power tool includes a light emitting diode and a thermally conductive housing that houses a movable component of the power tool, the thermally conductive housing including an integral portion that extends from the thermally conductive housing and is configured for thermally coupling with the light emitting diode. The integral portion of the thermally conductive housing is a heat sink for the heat generated by the light emitting diode, when the light emitting diode is thermally coupled to the integral portion of the thermally conductive housing.
