LED lamps are provided with cooling fan and heat sink units adapted from such units used in cooling computer components, which are engineered to provide long-life and exemplary cooling at a moderate cost and small size. 1. A method of making an LED lamp , said method comprisinga. providing an LED array light source for said lamp,b. providing a computer component cooling device comprising a heat sink and fan unit provided for cooling components in computers, said fan and said heat sink being matched to one another to provide cooling sufficient for protecting computer cards or other computer devices from overheating,c. said heat sink having a heat-exchanging structure with a surface for mounting said array thereon in heat-conducting contact with said heat-exchanging structure,d. said fan being mounted directly on said heat sink and being adapted to move air over said heat exchanging structure to cool said array,e. providing an electrical connection device to connect an electrical power source to said LED array, and to power said fan,f. modifying said fan and heat sink unit as necessary for fitting said unit into a lamp housing, andg. mounting said fan, heat sink and attached LED array in said lamp housing with said LED array positioned to direct light out of said housing.2. A method as in including the step of selecting said fan and heat sink unit from the group consisting of (1) a fan with cowling mounted on the outside surface of said heat sink unit claim 1 , and (2) a fan without a cowling mounted in a recess in said heat sink structure claim 1 , said fan being a rotary-bladed fan with said fan having approximately the same height as said heat-sink structure.3. A method as in in which said heat exchanging structure is selected from the group consisting of (1) heat-conducting fins claim 1 , (2) heat pipe or pipes claim 1 , (3) a combination of fins and heat pipe or pipes.4. A method as in including the step of providing electrical conversion circuitry for converting ...
