LEDs and Heat: Managed or Micromanaged?
All of the focus on thermal management of light emitting diodes raises the question: is it always worth the cost? For LEDs, every penny must be applied efficiently. The benefits of lower junction temperature are well known, but there is a tipping point between investing additional product cost in thermal management and getting a return on that investment. Good thermal management starts with clear product and application definition.
Mechrelegate thermal management materials to secondary status in products. Given a choice, the best place to invest is the LEDs themselves.
