Investigation of the Heat Transfer in Radiators for LED Light Sources Using Thermography and Numerical Modeling

Light-emitting diodes – LED, appeared on the market in the 60s of the last century, and today it is the fastest developing lighting technology. Due to high heat flux on the small surface of the individual diodes, problems related to the light source cooling become to be one of the basic ones. The paper presents results of the thermographic and numerical analyses of the chosen design of the LED lamp radiator. Experimental and computational data have been compared and discussed.
