THERMAL CIRCUIT CALCULATION AND REAL-TIME ANALYSIS OF LED LIGHT SOURCE LUMINAIRES

Abstract

In semiconductor luminaires, thermal circuit design is important since operating temperature directly affects performance and life of luminaires. In this study; In order to keep operating temperature of LED light source luminaires normal, thermal circuit is emphasized. In this context, necessary information about LED and thermal resistance calculation are given in this study. As a real-time application, 10 different power luminaires have been determined on market, thermal resistance calculations have been made depending on heat that needs to be removed and required area calculations have been made for heatsink that needs to be used. Comparative analysis of thermal circuit area calculation results were made with existing heatsink areas of luminaires. Accordingly, it was concluded that thermal circuit designed luminaires which has insufficient heat sink area have a shorter life of approximately 22.7% compared to others.
