LED bulbs that produce white light generate a lot of heat that needs to be conducted away from the LED. Proper thermal management is crucial to maintaining the original brightness and lifespan of you LED light. Unfortunately, due to component costs, many manufacturers do not include appropriate heat transferring materials, thereby trading cost for performance.
For example, most LED lighting manufacturers use less expensive FR4 circuit boards that do not transfer heat well. Baja Designs achieves superior heat dissipation using 2 methods. First, we use a more expensive metal core circuit board to efficiently transfer heat from the LED to the heat sink provided by the air cooled aluminum housing. In addition, where necessary, we employ an embedded microprocessor to carefully monitor the LED temp. this will automatically dim the light to prevent overheating.
Any questions feel free to ask!
