Abstract

A heat dissipation device is mounted to a light emitting diode device for removing heat from the light emitting diode which includes a substrate having a top side on which a light-emitting unit is formed and an opposite bottom side from which terminals extend. The heat dissipation device includes a plate made of heat conductive material and forming a receptacle for receiving and at least partially enclosing and physically engaging the substrate of the light emitting diode device for enhancing heat removal from the light emitting diode device.
