Thermal Management Guidelines

Acceptable ambient starting and operating temperatures of the

Cree LED Module LMH6 are between 0°C and 40°C. (The lifetime

and performance estimates described in this document require

that the Tc limit stated in this Thermal Management Guidelines

section is adhered to and only the modifications described in this

document are implemented.)

The Cree LED Module LMH6 is designed to perform in a variety of

non-IC environments; however, the LED module lifetime is highly

dependent upon the Tc (case temperature). To achieve lifetime

and performance estimates and to maintain the warranty, the final

design cannot exceed 70°C at thermal equilibrium, based on the

Tc point (shown in the figure on the right) where the thermocouple

is placed and tested in situ.
