Modular LED heater

Abstract:

A modular LED heater and an LED array are disclosed. The modular LED heater comprises a base having one or more internal conduits through which a coolant fluid may flow. The base also includes a plumbing port on one side wall of the base and a recessed port on an opposite side of the base. These ports are configured such that the plumbing port of one modular LED heater can be inserted into the recessed port of the adjacent modular LED heater to form a fluid-tight seal. A printed circuit board having a plurality of LEDs is disposed on the front surface of the base. Further, in some embodiments, the base includes one or more wedge clamps on its side walls used to lock the modular LED heater to an adjacent modular LED heater. An LED array may be created by assembling a plurality of these modular LED heaters.
