light source 100 used in a hazardous environment in addition the power supply 124 also meets the power supply requirements for hazardous environments such as for example a class 1 division 2 classification furthermore when led light source 100 uses an embodiment containing multiple rows of leds 120 in an array as discussed above led light source 100 may include an equivalent number of power supplies 124 to power each respective row of led arrays this provides added redundancy to the led light source 100 thereby increasing the longevity and utilization rate i e minimizing downtime for maintenance or replacement of the led light source 100 the led light source 100 may also include heat sink fins 126 to help remove heat from leds 120 when in operation the heat sink fins 126 may be fabricated from thermally conductive materials e g aluminum to help dissipate heat any heat generated from the operation of leds 120 consequently heat sink fins 126 help prevent leds 120 from failing due to over heating in addition heat sink fins 126 may help prevent ignition of any flammable gases vapors or liquids that may be found in hazardous environments from the heat generated from operating leds 120 the shape size and number of heat sink fins 126 used may be determined by the number of leds 120 used in the led light source 100 in an exemplary embodiment the heat sink fins 126 may be coupled anywhere to the enclosure 102 on an opposing side of the leds 120 for example the heat sink fins 126 are directly coupled to the same bottom 106 that the leds 120 are mounted on in other words if leds 120 are coupled to an.
