Abstract

We present a detailed study of heating and cooling processes in LED luminaires with passive heat sinks. Our analysis is supported by numerical simulations as well as experimental measurements, carried on commercial systems used for outdoor lighting. We have focused our analysis on the common case of a single LED source in thermal contact with an aluminum passive heat sink, obtaining an excellent agreement with experimental measurements and the numerical simulations performed. Our results can be easily expanded, without loss of generality, to similar systems.
