Advanced LED pin fin coolers accommodate tilted spot lights
The second generation pin fin coolers have been developed for an optimized free air convection under tilted positions of spot and track lights over 45 degrees.
Typically under heavy inclined positioning LED coolers need a far more open structure at the side to prevent obstruction of hot raising air.
MechaTronix is developing situation specific LED coolers per LED brand. The solution offers an optimal performance which exceeds existing cooling platforms with more than 30%. As an example the company has launched the LPF67 and LPF86 advanced pin fin coolers. In a diameter of 67 mm and 86 mm, the advanced LED coolers keep respectively 3500 lumen and 4500 lumen spot and track lights on the required case and junction temperature even under a full horizontal 90 degrees positioning.
The LPF47 and LPF67 advanced LED pin fin coolers are standard foreseen from Zhaga book 3 and Zhaga book 11 mounting holes, as well as an advanced pattern for direct mounting of COB LED modules. Besides better performance under tilted position the weight of these LED pin fin coolers is far lower than extruded star shaped LED coolers with similar performance. The diameter of 86mm was typically chosen during development to create a 3000 to 4500 lumen passive replacement for tilted active cooled track and spot lights from the past.
MechaTronix had previously launched a similar diameter 86 mm star shaped LED cooler, the ModuLED Micro, for replacement of active cooled spot and down lights under vertical position. The next generation pin fin cooler now means that active cooling is completely banned in spot and down light applications.
