OVERVIEW:

With high visible light, low radiant energy, and no infrared or ultraviolet light, LEDs are the most efficient light source on the market today. While as much as 80% more energy efficient than traditional incandescent lighting, LED components still generate a considerable amount of heat. High temperatures can cut the lifespan of an LED in half, and temperatures over the maximum rated junction temperature can quickly weaken both the LEDs lumen output as well as its color rendering index, or CRI (a technical measurement of how “true” the color is based on an objective industry standard).  ebm-papst's active cooling solutions dissipate that excess heat which increases the LED’s efficiency and service life (known as “lifetime” in this industry) exponentially. 

BENEFITS OF ACTIVE COOLING IN THE LIGHTING INDUSTRY:

• Size  Fixture sizes can be reduced by 4-6X
• Decreased fixture costs  Elimination of large and costly heat sinks
• More light!  50-100%  increase in lumen output compared to passively cooled fixtures
• Improved lifetime and CRI!  Reduction in LED junction temperatures delivers a longer lifetime for the lamp and higher CRIs
