High-power LEDs generate heat just as all other light sources, resulting from the resistance to the flow of current in the semiconductor. To ensure that the nominal luminous flux and functional life are attained, the identified maximum temperature of the LEDs depletion layer must not ever be exceeded even in continuous operation. ERCO therefore places particular importance on heat management in the luminaire, ensuring that the LED modules operate below the critical temperature range in order that they produce full power output throughout their entire functional life. ERCO uses passive heat sinks, which are maintenance-free and reliable, and unlike active systems do not consume any additional energy. Their thermally optimised design minimises the drop in luminous flux, which occurs with LEDs whenever they heat up.
