Abstract
A light fixture assembly including an illumination assembly in the form of one or more light emitting diodes is interconnected to an electrical energy source by a conductor assembly and control circuitry. A mounting assembly supports the illumination assembly and a cover structure is disposed in heat transferring relation to the mounting assembly, wherein both the mounting assembly and the cover structure are formed of heat conductive material, thereby effectively dissipating the heat generated by the LED illumination assembly. The conductor assembly, comprising at least one electrically conductive material connector, mechanically interconnects components, including the illumination source and the mounting assembly, into an assembled orientation. A non-conductive insulation assembly or a predetermined air space isolates the at least one conductive connector from the mounting assembly to avoid electrical contact there between.
