TESTED FOR LIFE<br />
The secret to the <strong>Element</strong> <strong>II</strong>’s advanced efficiency is<br />
superior heat reduction.<br />
To get there, we built a powerhouse of a heat sink, and<br />
designed it to make maximum use of the Venturi Effect.<br />
Sinking the Heat – Successfully<br />
In LED luminaires, the most critical areas to cool are the<br />
junction points where the LEDs meet the circuit board.<br />
The heat sink is used to draw heat away from these<br />
points.<br />
The <strong>Element</strong> <strong>II</strong>’s extruded aluminum heat sink is<br />
substantial.<br />
With a maximized fin ratio and precisely-mapped<br />
channel distributions; thermal build-up peels away<br />
from the <strong>Element</strong> <strong>II</strong>’s junction points, allowing for cooler<br />
operation.<br />
Feel the Breeze – the Venturi Effect<br />
The Venturi Effect dictates that, with increased air flow,<br />
heat transfer rates increase exponentially, removing heat<br />
at ever-faster rates.<br />
Hold your hand over the <strong>Element</strong> <strong>II</strong>, and feel it — that<br />
rush of air rising up through the fixture, and out the top.<br />
Engineering for this effect cools LEDs, drivers and<br />
internal components; allowing the <strong>Element</strong> <strong>II</strong> to:<br />
• Withstand higher ambient temperatures.<br />
• Withstand higher drive currents.<br />
• Achieve a low thermal resistance rating.<br />
• Extend LED life.<br />
This effect doesn’t occur with external, decorative heat<br />
sinks -- like those found in competing products.<br />
Combining heat sink technology with the Venturi Effect<br />
produces a superior, long-lasting product with increased<br />
light output.<br />
