ebm-papst has developed, in cooperation with LED light manufacturer Xicato, a range of fans that boast lifetimes in excess of 87 500 hours to improve the reliability of LED lights by keeping them consistently cool.
Thermal management is a key factor that limits the lumen output and efficiency of an LED light source. While as much as 80% more energy efficient than traditional incandescent lighting, the LED components still create a considerable amount of heat. If this heat is not dissipated properly, the quality of light and life expectancy of the LED light source decreases dramatically.
In order to reach the desired lumen values in a small form factor, active cooling may be required to effectively dissipate the heat produced by the LED components. Active cooling technology offers thermal capabilities that are superior to passive heatsinks and can raise performance while reducing the size of the lighting fixture.
ebm-papst’s 612FL-698 fan Xicato modules (PG1W-12-60-M3BN and PG1W-12-60-L3BN) come with a five-year warranty. A custom acoustic isolation ring limits their noise output to 7 dB(A) while a highly efficient motor means that they consume less than 0,18 Watts.
