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 />
