High-power LED heat sink for long-lasting lighting
High-performance LED cooling for lighting with safety, efficiency and aesthetics
LED high-performance lights have become an integral part of modern lighting technology. They offer high luminous efficacy and are particularly low-maintenance and energy-saving. When illuminating roads, they contribute to the safety and visibility of road users and pedestrians. In industrial halls, they improve working conditions as daylight lamps, while in offices they promote concentration. In retail, they improve the presentation of goods and effectively emphasise architectural structures. They are also highly valued as lamps, spotlights and floodlights in public facilities, sports facilities and at events due to their durability and uniform illumination.
Efficiency meets design: EKL heat sink solutions for economical LED technology
EKL offers an innovative range of high-performance heat sinks for LED applications that are impressive in terms of both design and functionality. These heat sinks for high power LEDs utilise large surface areas and advanced technologies such as heat pipes to ensure efficient heat dissipation.
LEDs emit up to 85 % of the power as heat
The need for powerful LED coolers arises from the fact that LEDs, although more energy efficient than traditional light bulbs and halogen spotlights, still convert a significant amount of electrical energy into heat. In addition, LEDs do not radiate heat to the environment in the form of infrared radiation, so this must be dissipated directly from the LED chip. Effective heat management is crucial in order to maximise the efficiency and service life of LEDs and avoid so-called "heat death". High-performance LED heat sinks, which EKL has developed specifically for this task, reliably ensure that the heat generated is dissipated quickly. LED cooling maintains the quality of your LED devices.
Your LED heat sink manufacturer EKL
When working with EKL, manufacturers of LED products appreciate the cooling and cost-optimised development. We have specialised in the cooling of electronic components since 29 years. We create near-series prototypes for you and have a very wide range of manufacturing processes at our disposal. EKL takes care of the design of heat pipes and add-on parts in order to achieve optimum performance. Depending on the manufacturing process, our heat sinks can be produced economically from very small quantities to large series. We also offer a variety of designs and surface finishes. And on request, EKL can relieve you by supplying pre-assembled assemblies and customised packaging design, including the production of packaging for transport and storage.

High-performance heat sinks for high-power LED applications
In electronics, the heat generated by current-carrying components is an unavoidable and usually annoying side effect. As a product manager and development engineer of electronic systems, free yourself from the risk of overheating and expensive development loops by placing the thermal management of your device in the hands of EKL! We see ourselves as a partner in your development, pursuing the same goals as you: to manufacture a reliable, high-quality and durable product at competitive prices.
Cooling LEDs in street lighting
Local authorities value LEDs for their high energy efficiency, long service life and low maintenance costs. They are known for consuming significantly less energy than conventional lighting systems, which leads to considerable cost savings. The comparatively long service life of often over 50,000 hours reduces maintenance costs. In LED luminaires, these components require heat sinks: the LED chip and the power supply unit.
Cooling LEDs in industrial warehouses and production facilities
Energy-saving LED lighting helps to reduce operating costs and can increase the safety and productivity of various work steps thanks to its adaptability. Heat sinks for LED lighting systems must primarily dissipate heat from LED chips in order to optimise their performance and service life. This is usually done by passive cooling with aluminium or copper heat sinks that dissipate the heat or, in the case of high-power LEDs, by active cooling with fans or liquid systems.
Cooling LEDs in retail and at the POS (point of sale)
Retail and point of sale benefit from LED lighting through improved product presentation. A selectable colour temperature and light colour make the shopping experience special for customers. The low heat radiation also protects sensitive goods such as food. LED lamps are also energy-efficient, have a long service life thanks to LED chip heat sinks and low maintenance costs.
Cooling LEDs in architecture
In architecture, LEDs offer - in addition to improved energy efficiency and a longer service life - the possibility of realising innovative lighting concepts. They allow precise control of light sources and can therefore enhance the perception of space and structure.
Cooling LEDs on sports fields, in sports halls and event halls
Sports facilities and events benefit from LED lighting due to its high energy efficiency, which leads to considerable savings in operating costs. They are characterised by a long service life, which reduces maintenance costs and minimises the need to replace lamps. The lighting is immediately available at full brightness and offers uniform illumination and good colour rendering. This enhances the visual quality of sporting events or cultural and music events. Depending on the performance of the LED components, passive cooling via finned heat sinks may be sufficient. Depending on requirements, however, heat sinks are also forcibly ventilated with fans to prevent overheating due to insufficient convection.
Cooling LEDs for trade fairs, exhibitions and theatre and concert stages
LED lighting offers additional advantages for trade fairs, exhibitions and stages. They are energy-efficient, have a long service life and enable flexible lighting design. They also generate little heat, which reduces the risk of fire and makes cooling the event space less complex. Components installed in the lighting, such as LED chip heat sinks and other aluminium heat sinks, ensure safe continuous operation and guarantee the optimum performance of the LEDs.

Feasibility / simulation
Feasibility / simulation
We test the idea for your heat sink virtually in the thermal simulation. Realistic computer simulations allow variations in manufacturing processes, system structures and other parameters.
Performance optimisation
Even a well-functioning heat sink can still be optimised. We determine the "how" and "how much" by simulating different materials or cooling technologies, for example, as well as simulating various environmental parameters.
Cost optimisation
An expensive heat sink can often be made significantly cheaper by using an alternative manufacturing process. Whether with the same or application-specific performance: we support your product development in reducing costs.
