Sandwich Design LED Light Engine Solutions

Brillia Sandwich Design Light Engines allow a simple one-piece approach to LED integration. Utilizing only one wiring connection, and using screws as mechanical and electrical attachments to the LED driver (power supply), the sandwich designs simply need a heat sink plate and a luminaire is quickly to market with LED sources.

LED modules MUST be mounted to a flat metal heat sink surface, sandwiched between modules and driver.

Recommended heat sink plate is aluminum, 0.080” thick.
Bushings are required on driver side and are available from Permlight (PC61-0002) or McMaster Carr (91145A129).
Proper torque should be used for screws, no lock washers as these will damage board.
LED Modules make electrical and mechanical connections to the driver with the screws.
Driver is typically located in housing of luminaire, behind the heat sink plate.
After the engine 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.
