Active cooling thermal solutions utilizes fans or forced air to properly ventilate and cool a heat sink. The Nuventix SynJet is a unique technology that creates turbulent, pulsated air-jets that can be precisely directed to enable superior heat dissipation in LED lighting applications. SynJet technology is helping LED luminaire manufacturers resolve cooling challenges that require high reliability in a flexible form factor.
Nuventix offers heatsinks designed to accommodate popular LED light modules and arrays from various suppliers. The heat sinks are designed to work either passively or in conjunction with a SynJet cooler.

Passive cooling thermal solutions leverage the use of a properly configured system to ventilate an LED system through natural convection, radiation or conduction into the ambient air. There are no moving parts and fans in such an application or the consumption of additional energy. This is the most commonly used, least expensive and easiest to implement as a thermal heatsink solution. Custom solutions are generally more expensive, but are the best way to fully optimize an application.

Award Winning QLED is a powerful design and simulation software tool that allows lighting designers and engineers to perform real time thermal simulations of solid state lighting systems using LUXEON high power LEDs. This is the only available thermal simulation software that includes accurate LED models.
