An LED-based light can include a highly thermally conductive base having multiple radially outward projecting nodes. The nodes can be spaced apart in an axial and circumferential directions of the base. An electrical connector and at least one LED can be attached to the base, and a light transmitting bulb can be attached to the base and can cover the at least one LED. The geometry of the base can promote heat dissipation, which can allow the at least one LED to use enough power to produce an amount of luminosity that allows the LED-based light to replicate, for example, an incandescent light without overheating.

A method of forming a LED-based light for replacing a conventional fluorescent bulb in a fluorescent light fixture includes shaping an elongate sheet of highly thermally conductive material to fashion a heat sink. Shaping the heat sink allows fashioning the heat sink to define cover and end cap attachment structures, surfaces for mounting LEDs at various angles, and a high surface area to width ratio for dissipating heat.

Disclosed is a LED lighting apparatus with one or more swivel connections. The LED lighting apparatus includes a housing with at least one end, at least one light emitting diode extending along the housing and at least one end cap. The end cap has an opening with a sidewall to cap the end of the housing and a surface opposite the opening and spanning the sidewall. At least two pin connectors extend from the surface and are connectable to a standard fluorescent or incandescent light fixture. Various configurations are described such that the housing will rotate within the end caps with application of a rotational force after connection of the pin connectors to the light fixture to adjust the light output direction of the LED lighting apparatus.
