    Abstract

    Evolution of lumens per watt efficacy has enabled exponential growth in light-emitting diode (LED) lighting applications. Small size of the LED has given the opportunity to integrate light sources in luminaires of many shapes and sizes. Flexible printed circuit boards enable low cost and easily integrable modules. However thermal management becomes important as the heat load on the board increases. In this paper we compare different thermal via techniques with thermal slugs as heat management structures. We present their challenges and benefits with measurements and simulations.
