Heat dissipation solution reduces LED lighting installation burdens
The lightweight and compact form of the HYC Series reduces the constraints on the seismic design of LED lighting.
Currently, cast aluminum products and heat dissipation parts comprising lumps of metal including extruded products are commonly used for heat dissipation in LED lighting, but as heat dissipation parts get larger and heavier in keeping with the higher output of LED lighting, problems with LED lighting equipment make them more difficult to handle.
The HYC Series draws on the heat dissipation/cooling technologies and expertise in electronics products that Furukawa Electric has developed over many years. The heat dissipation performance of the HYC Series has been achieved by using less than half the weight compared with conventional cast aluminum and extruded heat dissipation parts. The result makes the products ideal for cooling the high power LED modules that are mainly used in high ceiling lighting for warehouses, factories, gymnasiums and other outdoor floodlighting applications.
To start with, Furukawa Electric is launching the HYC 130c (weighing 0.78 kg) 100 – 130 W crimped fin type heat sink, and the 200 W class HYC 200 (weighing 1.2 kg) heat pipe heat sink.
