LED lights cooling solution

LED lights cooling solution
Some LED solutions use fans to help cool. Some use a larger heat sink. What is better? Do you have to worry about the fans?
Most of LED lighting companes has been selling LED solutions since 2008. Many of our solutions use fans and many of our solutions include large heat sinks. Is one better than the other?

Understand active cooling
A fan is nothing more than active cooling. It circulates air over the heat sink, vents hot air and, in the case of a closed luminaire, such as a shoebox, distributes heat in the luminaire shell. This technique allows the use of a smaller heat sink. In some cases, the LED solution would not fit into the existing projector if a passive, fanless solution was used. Think about laptops, computers, gaming systems and most current electronics. Most, if not all, use fans. This idea of ​​using fans to eliminate heat is not new. Since all the years that we sell LED solutions, we have only encountered a fan failure. The idea that fans fail is therefore not reasonable.

Understanding passive cooling
Passive cooling is a fanless heat sink. Therefore, to compensate, the heat sink must be larger. The best way to work with these solutions is when the LED board uses the luminaire housing as a heat sink. Think of a big bay or a parking device. Using a card that is not built into the device is not a good design (unless of course you use a fan to help move the heat).


To take away
Do not worry about the use of fans. The ventilation technology is very robust and will generally last longer than the LED product. If you have an open device in a dusty environment, a passive solution might be a better option. You can contact here to know more and get solution and lights.
