Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for cooling a fishing light of a fishing boat using seawater, which can efficiently cool the high temperature heat caused by the high output of LEDs used as a light source for the fishing light. A pipe (10) for the installation of a fishing light (30) on a fishing boat (2) has a hollow inside, and seawater (1) is compulsorily circulated through the pipe (10) by using a pump (20). The pipe (10) has one side with an outer surface on which an aluminum PCB (32) for an LED module mounted with LEDs (33) is tightly attached, and the other side with an outer surface on which a rear bracket (31) for supporting, at the rear, the PCB (32) for an LED module. Silicon (70) is applied between the PCB (32) for an LED module and the pipe (10) and between the rear bracket (31) and the pipe (10). Double packing rubber (61, 62) is employed to seal the contact area between the PCB (32) for an LED module and the rear bracket (31). A press bolt (39) is secured into a press bolt hole (38) of the rear bracket (31) to tighten the PCB (32) for an LED module and the pipe (10). Hot water generated from the seawater which has passed through the plurality of fishing lights (30) is injected into a heating pipe (80) installed on the fishing boat (2). The PCB (32) for an LED module is formed into polygonal shape.

The present invention relates to an illumination device where a number of light sources are arranged on a heat sink and adapted to emit light in substantially the same direction. The heat sink comprises a first cooling plate and a second cooling plate and a first part of the light sources are arrange on the first cooling plate and a second part of the light sources are arranged on the second cooling plate. The first and second cooling plates are further separated by a distance and a flow channel is defined there between. The flow channel allows cooling fluid to flow between the first cooling plate and the second cooling plate whereby the light sources can be cooled by the cooling fluid. The heat sink comprises further a number of light passages allowing light to propagate from the second cooling plate, towards the first cooling plate and through the first cooling plate. The present invention relates also to a method of cooling light sources emitting light in substantially the same direction.
