Why Aluminium PCBs Are Essential for LED Lighting

LEDs convert most of their input power into heat. If that heat is not removed, light output drops and lifespan collapses. Aluminium PCBs solve this at the board level.

How metal-core boards work

A metal-core PCB places a thermally conductive dielectric between the copper circuit and an aluminium base. Heat flows from the LED, through the dielectric, into the aluminium, and out to the housing.

Benefits for lighting manufacturers

• Lower junction temperature → longer LED life
• Higher drive currents without thermal runaway
• Better lumen maintenance over time
• Mechanical rigidity for large fixtures

We manufacture aluminium PCBs for streetlights, panels, downlights and high-bay fixtures, with finishes and thermal specs matched to your driver.
