Heat design

The following pictures show some measurements of mounted 5W Led on the heat sink for each board A and B (See Fig 1) with

using thermograph to make an observation about heat distribution. Each boards is tested at various current conditions.

As a result, LED needs larger heat sink as much as possible to reduce its own case temperature.

Above tested LED device is attached with adhesive sheet to the heatsink.

For reference's sake, Tj absolute maximum rating is defined at 115℃ as a prerequisite on design process of 5W LED.
