Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein describe systems and methods for heat sinks within light fixtures. In embodiments, the heat sink may be a passive system that creates a cross-flow thermal management system to dissipate large amounts of heat in a slim light fixture. Embodiments may utilize a series of wings assembled in a linear design that are positioned perpendicular to the length of the light fixture to preserve the cross-flow heat sink.

Abstract: Apparatuses of various forms and each having at least one LED string controlled by a current controller biased by voltage tap nodes in the LED string, and circuitry for implementing the same. In some implementations, circuitry made in accordance with the present disclosure includes a current controller and current-control circuitry. The current controller is biased by a voltage drop across one or more LEDs in an LED string and controls the current-control circuitry in a manner that controls the electrical current in the LED string. In some implementations, one or more additional LED strings and/or one or more other devices may be controlled directly or indirectly by operation of the current controller.

Abstract: Embodiments may utilize a series of exposed fins, which increase the surface area of the heat sink creating additional air flow. As hotter air rises within the system, cooler is drawn into the heatsink. The fins may be exposed on both sides of the longitudinal axis, allowing cooler air to be drawn towards the longitudinal axis above the heatsink and flow upward. This process may cool the fins. Additionally, the spacing between the fins may have to be wide enough to allow for air to freely enter the heatsink.
