Overheating remains one of the most critical threats to LED-based systems, directly impacting performance, reliability, and operational lifespan.Whether in UVC disinfection, commercial lighting, or industrial applications, thermal stress can lead to premature failure, color instability, and increased energy consumption-raising costs and safety risks alike.

‍

The Impact of Excess Heaton LEDs

Reduced Lifespan
Thermal stress accelerates the degradation of solder joints and circuit boards, resulting in early failure and more frequent maintenance.
‍

Color Shift and Discoloration
High operating temperatures cause phosphor degradation, leading to inconsistent color rendering—problematic in applications where precise color accuracy is critical.
‍

Diminished Lumen Output
Excess heat directly reduces the light output of LEDs over time, compromising energy efficiency and illumination uniformity.

Introducing the LTG Family: Thermal Jumpers Built for Performance

To combat these challenges, Lotus Microsystems offers a robust solution: Thermal Jumpers from the LTG Family. These compact, high-performance components are engineered to significantly improve thermal management in LED systems.

‍

Key Benefits:

• Efficient Heat Dissipation:
  Low thermal resistance enables fast and effective heat transfer away from the LED.
  ‍
• Increased System Reliability:
  Prevents thermal runaway and protects adjacent components.
  ‍
• Stable Performance Over Time:
  Maintains consistent lumen output and color temperature under continuous load.
  ‍
• Design Flexibility:
  Compact form factor allows seamless integration into a wide range of LED designs, from compact UVC modules to high-output industrial lighting.

Proven Thermal Impact

Below is a representative chart illustrating LED light output over time at varying operating temperatures. A reduction of just 11°C in LED temperature can result in an extension of up to 25,000 additional operating hours, clearly demonstrating the importance of proper thermal management.
