The heat dissipation conditions of high-power 5 watt LEDs-based searchlight modules were optimized with varying LED bar’shape, materials, and ambient temperature. The LED junction temperature was estimated by using Computational Fluid Dynamics simulation. The optimal heat dissipation conditions were found as follows; LED bar’ shape: L=80 mm, W=4 mm, t=10 mm, copper material, LED junction temperature of 116.6℃, ambient temperature of 50℃, total mass of 184 g, and shadowing area of 320 mm2. The difference between the junction temperatures of our fabricated and simulated LEDs-based searchlight modules is about 3℃, which confirms the validity of our thermal simulation results.

This is the study on the development of fusion heat dissipation of carbon magnesium materials. The purpose of this study is for effective utilization of heat emission which is the core of LED lighting. The result of study enabled the derivation of side satisfying result of making the surface temperature of lighting to be below 70℃ (actual measurement: 58℃) using magnesium. The lighting products that use magnesium was made possible based on the result of this study. Also from the performance aspect such as light distribution, the measurement of light efficiency demonstrated the level of 90 lm/W. Therefore the commercialization of lighting was made possible and the efficiency could be further enhanced by supplementation of LED performance.
