High power heat sink for LED for reliable illumination

produkte led edit 2024 10 28 17 56 13

Powerful cooling performance meets design

EKL offers aluminium heat sinks especially for high-power LEDs. The use of LED heat sinks with a large surface area, such as ribbed aluminium or fins, improves heat dissipation to the environment. Even better heat dissipation is achieved by designing heat pipes, which are primarily used in the high-end LED stage and floodlight sector.

Advantages of EKL LED high-performance heat sinks

  • Cooling and cost-optimised development
  • Close-to-series prototype construction
  • Wide selection of manufacturing technologies
  • Design of heat pipes and add-on parts
  • Economical LED heat sinks from small series to large series
  • Variety of designs and surface finishes
  • Delivery of pre-assembled assemblies
  • Packaging design and production

This is why energy-saving LEDs require heat sinks

LED light sources must be well cooled in order to maximise their efficiency and service life - so that they do not die of "heat death". Although LEDs are much more energy efficient than conventional light bulbs, they still convert a significant amount of electrical energy into heat. Good heat management with high-power LED heat sinks is crucial, as LEDs only convert around 25 - 35 % of the electrical energy into visible light. Very efficient and expensive models manage a maximum of 50%. The rest is released as heat, which must be dissipated quickly using specially developed heat sinks for LEDs. An increasing temperature of the junction has a negative effect on the wavelength and intensity of the light, which in turn leads to undesirable colour changes in the light.

Manufacturing technologies for high-power LED heat sinks

EKL mainly offers customised LED cooling solutions - even for small quantities. With over 30 years of experience in cooling high-performance electronic assemblies, we are your reliable partner. Thanks to our wide range of production technologies, we are able to optimally cool almost any LED lamp. We also offer machining (such as CNC machining, design of heat pipes and add-on parts), pre-assembled assemblies and various surface finishes.

Extruded aluminium heat sinks LED

extrusion web
Aluminium heat sinks are one of the most common designs in the field of electronic LED cooling. Our cost-effective production and low tooling costs make it possible to supply even small and medium-sized series of individually optimised heat sinks. More about extruded heat sinks

Forged aluminium heat sinks LED

Kaltschmieden web
Pin coolers are manufactured from high-purity aluminium or copper using the cold forging process. This enables high-performance heat sinks with a very high surface area. In contrast to extruded coolers, complex geometries can also be produced. More about cold forged heat sinks

Soldered high power LED heat sinks

Loeten web
By combining aluminium and copper, it is possible to cool very high power densities even of small components. The thermal "spreading effect" of the copper plate in soldered connection with light aluminium fins leads to very low thermal resistances. More about soldered heat sinks

Heatpipe heat sinks for high power LED

heatpipe web
The thermally highly conductive copper tubes work by means of phase change of the contained medium and can effectively and very quickly dissipate hotspots in your system to a suitable heat sink. More about heatpipe heat sinks

Crimped Fin copper/aluminium heat sink LED solutions

crimped web
The thermal "spreading effect" of a copper plate in mechanical combination with lightweight aluminium fins results in very low thermal resistance. By using punched aluminium fins, a very high thermal surface area can also be created to cool systems without a fan. More about crimped heat sinks

Skived Fin High Power LED heat sinks

Skived web
The skived fin process is used to create coolers made of copper or aluminium with heights of less than 30 mm, which achieve a very high surface area without additional thermal resistance through soldering or crimping thanks to the special manufacturing process. More about scraped heat sinks

Die-cast aluminium LED heat sinks

Alu Druckguss Kuehlkoerper  Oberflaechenveredelung V2
Complex geometries can be realised in almost all sizes using this manufacturing process. Especially for closed systems, complete die-cast housings also offer the advantage of efficiently transporting heat to the outside without wasting space unnecessarily. More about die-cast aluminium heat sinks

Copper and aluminium heat sink for LEDs with high light output

Low-maintenance and energy-saving high-performance LED luminaires have also become indispensable for illuminating large areas such as stages, halls and public spaces.
  • LED lamps offer high luminous efficacy for energy-efficient street lighting. They are ideal for illuminating roads and contribute to safety and visibility.
  • In industrial warehouses and production facilities, bright LEDs ensure a clear view and can improve work performance as daylight lamps.
  • As modern office lighting, neutral white LED lighting in the daylight colour spectrum promotes concentration and is therefore ideal for working environments.
  • LED spotlights with high luminous intensity ensure an appealing presentation of goods in retail stores and POS and can improve the shopping atmosphere.
  • Architectural highlights are effectively emphasised by the use of LED floodlights on buildings and monuments.
  • For sports and event halls, LED floodlights provide uniform and bright floodlighting, which is important for athletes and spectators alike.
  • Public facilities such as hospitals, schools and other public buildings benefit from the long service life and high light quality of LED lighting.
  • High-performance LED stage spotlights are becoming increasingly popular at trade fairs, exhibitions and on theatre and concert stages, especially as they emit comparatively little heat and cause the illuminated performers to sweat less.
