An LED light source (10) comprises a housing (12) having a base (14) with a hollow core (16) projecting therefrom. The core (16) is substantially conical. A central heat conductor (17) is centrally located within the hollow core (16) and is formed from solid copper. A first printed circuit board (18) is connected to one end of the central heat conductor and a second printed circuit board (20) is fitted to a second, opposite end of the central heat conductor (17). The second printed circuit board (20) has at least one LED (24) operatively fixed thereto. A plurality of electrical conductors (26) has proximal ends (28) contacting electrical traces formed on the second printed circuit board (20) and distal ends (30) contacting electrical traces on the first printed circuit board (18). Each of the electrical conductors (26) has a tension reliever (27) formed therein which axially compresses during assembly. A cap (32) is fitted over the second printed circuit board (20); and a heat sink (34) is attached to the base and in thermal contact with the first printed circuit board.
