LED Heat Sinks

Small but powerful heatsinks made to fit a variety of lighting such as household, industrial, and automotive.

LED applications are thermally challenging because of their small size, high power dissipation, complex environment, and cost restrictions. LEDs are small in size and can be clustered together to produce more/brighter light.

Their small size means that the spreading of the heat from the LED into the heat sink is extremely important. To improve the spreading, many LEDs are mounted to metal-clad PCBs.

While LEDs are electrically efficient, they are only about 30% efficient from a thermal perspective, which leads to thermal challenges.
