Why ‘COOL’ is so Important for LED

Because LED lighting systems don’t radiate heat the way an incandescent, CFL or halogen light bulb does, the heat produced from the power going into the product must be drawn away from the LEDs. This is usually done with a heat sink, which is a passive device that absorbs the heat produced and dissipates it into the surrounding environment. This keeps LEDs from overheating and burning out.  LED products use a variety of unique heat sink designs and configurations to manage heat, so they may look very different from each other. Regardless of the heat sink design, all of our LED products have been tested to ensure that they properly manage the heat so that the light output is maximized and the life of the fixture is increased.
