Designing the light output of a Xicato LED whilst efficiently managing LED Temperature.

The project brief was set by representatives from Xicato and Mike Stone Lighting:
‘Design either a stand-alone or track mounted technical lighting solution for the domestic or commercial market.’
The design had to incorporate a supplied Xicato LED kit and consider the lighting effect, glare, maintenance, safety and installation. A key technical challenge was to consider the thermal management using a heat sink.
Eflux can be used as a task light or lighting exhibit providing a pleasing lighting effect. Sections spread out evenly to provide ambient lighting or sections close to focus lighting for specific tasks. The heat output from the LED is managed by a heatsink with the airflow rising from the base through the LED central column.
