Remote Design LED Module and Driver Solutions
Brillia Remote Design Light Engines are available in a variety of configurations in both constant voltage and constant current. Remote designs allow maximum flexibility and ability to thermally remote the drivers from the LED modules. Using a building block approach, these engines are easily scalable and can be used for any luminaire size or shape.
- LED modules MUST be mounted to a flat metal heat sink surface.
- For best performance this heat sink is thermally contiguous with the body of the luminaire and provides not only conductive cooling to the LED modules, but convective cooling (due to air circulation around the heat sink or luminaire body).
- LED modules should be mounted to the heat sink with either the supplied thermal adhesive tape, mounting screws, or both
- Screw size and type should comply with datasheet requirements
- The remote LED driver should be mounted in an area that allows maximum thermal isolation from the heat that will be generated by the LEDs and associated heat sink.
DRIVER PLACEMENT NOTE:
- Ideally the driver is not placed inside of a sealed fixture housing in which there is a high quantity of LED modules and no air circulation around the driver compartment. Max. ambient temp of the driver (typ. 60C) will likely be reached in this case.
- In such cases, it is more suitable have a compartment outside of the main luminaire housing case in which to mount the driver. Doing so, will also allow more LED modules in the luminaire without reaching max temps.
- After the engine (driver+modules) is installed in the luminaire, it should be tested in-situ operation, and the Ts and TMP points measured with thermocouples to ensure datasheet maximums are not exceeded.
- Ambient conditions of the housing, especially the driver mounting compartment should be tested for maximums.
