Applications

TheFortimoLEDDLMsystemisintendedforgenerallightingapplicationsintheprofessionalmarketfor

offices,hospitalityandretail.Examplesofapplicationsinclude:

•Offices(representativeareassuchasreceptions,boardrooms,etc.)

•Publicbuildings(cinemas,restaurants,theaters,airports,exhibitionhalls)

•High-endshops

•Retail(supermarkets,bakery/butcherareas,leathergoods,etc.)

* Use in outdoor luminaires?

Neither the Fortimo LED DLM module nor the LED driver has an IP classification.

If an OEM decides to use the Fortimo system in a luminaire for outdoor application, the OEM is responsible for

proper IP protection and approbation of the luminaire.


2. LEDs, the heart of the Fortimo downlight moduleThe development of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) is progressing at such a pace

that they are rapidly gaining importance for lighting applications. To most people,

the term LED still only means the small indicator lights that show whether the

TV set is switched on. These tiny light sources barely emit enough light to make

themselves visible. However, breakthroughs made in the last few years now allow

LEDs to be used for ‘real’ lighting applications that have traditionally been the

domain of incandescent lamps and discharge lamps. Philips Lumileds was the

first to bring high power LEDs for lighting applications to the market under the

Luxeon trademark. Luxeon emitters are among the highest-performance LEDs in

the world, allowing us to offer the brightest solid-state lighting solutions.

1. Calculation of total maximum thermal resistance: (f1)

ΔTambient – Tc = 65 – 35 = 30 °C

Rth Tc – ambient = (Tambient – Tc)/ Pth= 30 / 20 = 1.5 K/W

2. Calculation of thermal resistance two heat sinks: (f3)

Rth hs – ambient = Rth Tc-hs + Rth hs – ambient

Rth hs – ambient = 1.5 – 0.2 = 1.3 K/W

3. Calculation of thermal resistance per identical heat sink: (f2)

R1 = R2 and Rtot-hs-amb = 1/(1/R1 + 1/R2)

Rtot = 1/ (2/R1) = R1/2 <> R1=2Rtot
