Thermal Design Calculations for LED Luminaires

Energy saving is one of the realities showed down human beings’ throat by rapidly wasting world resources in today’s world. In this context, nowadays LED armatures are replacing conventional lighting armatures as new generation lighting armatures. However, these innovations bring about new problems. While these innovations increase efficiency, they reveal the engineering problems that need to be solved. The most important problem is the thermal problems of LED armatures. In this study, the cooler size of the LED armature was calculated. In addition, a design prepared in ANSYS program was compared with its simulation and it was seen that the calculated cooler dimension gave successful results considering the simulation.
