An electronics module designed to efficiently remove heat from enclosed circuit boards via one or more configurable heat conduits. Each heat conduit is custom-configured to provide good thermal contact between the corresponding heat-generating electronic device of an enclosed circuit board and the clamshell housing that encloses the circuit board. Good thermal contact between the clamshell housing and the outer case of the electronic module facilitates efficient heat transfer to the finned exterior surface of the outer case, where the heat is dissipated into the ambient environment via thermal conduction, natural convection, forced convection, and / or thermal radiation. Depending on the topology of the circuit board and the individual characteristics of the electronic device to be cooled, the corresponding configurable heat conduit might be based on a nested heat-sink coupler, a fitted movable plug, or a flexible ribbon-shaped heat pipe.

The present invention provides a solid-state lighting fixture and lamp for down light for use in applications especially in recessed lighting. In particular, the lamp of the subject invention may be configured as a direct screw-in replacement for common R-30 style incandescent flood lamp and it may be used existing luminaires.
