Abstract:
Provided is a cooling unit for an LED lighting apparatus, which dissipates heat that is generated in the lighting apparatus using an LED. The cooling unit for an LED lighting apparatus includes a heat pipe, one end of which is coupled to the LED lighting apparatus, and which uses a medium in which powder having an infrared-emitting property is mixed into a working fluid, wherein a heat-sink fin is disposed on the other end of the heat pipe. The LED lighting apparatus including the cooling unit for the LED lighting apparatus includes: a mounting plate made of a metal material and coupled to the cooler; an LED board on which one or more LEDs are arranged, the LED board being disposed on the mounting plate; and a driving circuit for driving the LEDs arranged on the LED board. The LED lighting apparatus may be applied to outdoor or indoor lights in which high light intensity is required, such as streetlights, fish-luring lights, floodlights, etc.
