Abstract

Embodiments of the invention include head and tail lights with and without heat sinks and kits made therefrom for golf carts.

Claims (44)

1. A head light assembly comprising:

a housing;

a headlight component having a plurality of rows of a plurality of LED lights fixedly installed in the housing with each LED light being positioned within a reflector;

a heat sink fixedly connected to a back of the light component and thermally connected to each LED light in the plurality of rows of the plurality of LED lights, the heat sink having a substantially flat base with a substantially rectangular shape and rounded corners, a plurality of fins extending perpendicularly from the substantially flat base and forming a generally symmetrical pattern having a central rectangular portion located around a center of the flat base, two sets of three spaced-apart and longitudinally aligned concave shaped fins on each side of and extending away from the central rectangular portion located around the center of the flat base, and a pair of substantially “V”-shaped fins opposite each other on opposite ends of the base and the pair of substantially “V”-shaped fins are substantially aligned with a center longitudinal axis of the heat sink;

a lens sealingly covering the light component; and

each LED light in the plurality of rows of the plurality of LED lights being electrically connected to a first wire to receive power.

2. The head light assembly of claim 1 , wherein the housing further includes a turn signal light component comprising:

a turn signal light housing;

at least one LED light fixedly installed in the turn signal light component and being electrically connected to a second wire to receive power to turn the at least one LED light on and off; and

a turn signal lens sealingly covering the at least one LED light.

3. The head light assembly of claim 1 , wherein each reflector is a smooth reflector.

4. The head light assembly of claim 1 , wherein each reflector is a multifaceted reflector.

5. The head light assembly of claim 2 , wherein the turn signal light component at least one LED light is positioned within a reflector.

6. The head light assembly of claim 1 , wherein each set of the three spaced-apart and longitudinally aligned concave shaped fins comprises an inside fin, a middle fin and an outer fin.

7. The head light assembly of claim 6 , wherein the heat sink further comprises a central opening formed in substantially a center of the central rectangular portion, and four fastener openings formed in a substantially rectangular pattern centered around the central opening and between the inside fin and the middle fin.

8. A head light assembly comprising:

a housing;

a headlight component including a light component with a plurality of rows of a plurality of LED lights fixedly installed in the housing with each LED light being positioned within a reflector, each LED light in the plurality of rows of the plurality of LED lights being electrically connected to wires to receive power;

a first heat sink fixedly connected to a back of the light component and thermally connected to each LED light in the plurality of rows of the plurality of LED lights, the heat sink having a substantially flat base with a substantially rectangular shape and rounded corners, a plurality of fins extending perpendicularly from the substantially flat base and forming a generally symmetrical pattern having a central rectangular portion located around a center of the flat base, two sets of three spaced-apart and longitudinally aligned concave shaped fins on each side of and extending away from the central rectangular portion located around the center of the flat base, and a pair of substantially “V”-shaped fins opposite each other on opposite ends of the base and the pair of substantially “V”-shaped fins are substantially aligned with a center longitudinal axis of the heat sink;

a turn signal component including seven LED lights;

a second heat sink thermally connected to the seven LED lights in the turn signal component; and

a lens sealingly covering both the headlight component and the turn signal component.

9. The head light kit of claim 8 , wherein the light component includes two rows of five LED lights and reflectors.

10. The head light kit of claim 9 , wherein the reflectors are smooth.

11. The head light kit of claim 8 , wherein the turn signal component includes six LED lights and reflectors arranged around a single central LED light and reflector.

12. A head light assembly comprising:

a housing;

a headlight component including a light component with a plurality of LED lights fixedly installed in the housing with each LED light being positioned within a reflector, each LED light in the plurality of LED lights being electrically connected to a first wire to receive power;

a first heat sink fixedly connected to a back of the light component and thermally connected to each LED light in the plurality of LED lights also in the housing, the heat sink having a substantially flat base with a substantially rectangular shape and rounded corners, a plurality of fins extending perpendicularly from the substantially flat base and forming a generally symmetrical pattern having a central rectangular portion located around a center of the flat base, two sets of three spaced-apart and longitudinally aligned concave shaped fins on each side of and extending away from the central rectangular portion located around the center of the flat base, and a pair of substantially “V”-shaped fins opposite each other on opposite ends of the base and the pair of substantially “V”-shaped fins are substantially aligned with a center longitudinal axis of the heat sink;

a clear headlight lens sealingly covering the headlight component;

a turn signal component installed adjacent the headlight component in the housing including at least one LED light being electrically connected to a second wire to receive power; and

a colored turn signal lens sealingly covering the turn signal component.

13. The head light of claim 12 , wherein the turn signal component further comprises a substantially rectangular turn signal light housing.

14. The head light of claim 12 , wherein the colored turn signal lens further comprises a raised lens.

15. A head light assembly comprising:

a housing;

a headlight component including a light component with a plurality of LED lights fixedly installed in the housing with each LED light being positioned within a reflector, each LED light in the plurality of LED lights being electrically connected to a first wire to receive power;

a first heat sink fixedly connected to a back of the light component and thermally connected to each LED light in the plurality of LED lights also in the housing, the first heat sink having a substantially flat base with a substantially rectangular shape and rounded corners, a plurality of fins extending perpendicularly from the substantially flat base and forming a generally symmetrical pattern having a central rectangular portion located around a center of the flat base, two sets of three spaced-apart and longitudinally aligned concave shaped fins on each side of and extending away from the central rectangular portion located around the center of the flat base, and a pair of substantially “V”-shaped fins opposite each other on opposite ends of the base and the pair of substantially “V”-shaped fins are substantially aligned with a center longitudinal axis of the heat sink;

a turn signal component installed adjacent the headlight component in the housing including at least one LED light being electrically connected to a second wire to receive power; and

a single lens sealingly covering the headlight and the turn signal components.

16. The head light of claim 15 , wherein the turn signal component is substantially circular and the plurality of LED lights includes seven LED lights.

17. The head light of claim 15 , wherein the seven LED lights are arranged with six LED lights and reflectors positioned around a single central LED light and reflector.
