Abstract

The LED based dynamic lighting scheme, require compact and thermally efficient luminaire. This paper presents the thermal investigation on the conceptual design of 36 W multicolor light emitting diode (LED) luminaire. The developed prototype design includes configuration and placement of the multichip LED package, RGBW and single die amber LEDs in a 5 × 3 array on the heat sink. LED configurations with low power input are placed between the LEDs having the high power input. The proposed configuration and placement of LEDs reduces the local heat concentration in the centre region of the heat sink. The temperature of 72 °C at LED chip base plate is reduced to 32.1 °C on the heat sink surface. The numerical results are experimentally validated. The proposed method contributes to a reduction in the size of the luminaire and also enhancement of heat dissipation for improving the longevity of the multicolor based LED luminaire.
