Correct Installation Guidelines for LED Mounting Profiles
Heatsinks & Thermal Management
Follow the procedure below for assembly of aluminium LED mounting profiles systems:
When installing in environments with large variations in temperature and/or operating length of more than 2.5M the use of metallic mounting surfaces is necessary to provide a heatsink Installing LED strips with a compatible HLP mourning profiles is always recommended. Wherever possible avoid installing LED strips on insulate materials such as plastic or timber.
The LED mounting profile is installed first. It should be fixed in place professionally and securely.
Where two or more segments of profile are joined to form a longer length, the segments must be butt ‐ joined neatly & squarely. Fix the two segments very securely so there is no movement or irregularity at the join. Afte profile segments are fixed, install the LED strip into the profile in accordance with handling & installation instructions.
To measure for proper heat dissipation the TC (junction temperature) can be measured. After 30 mins of continuous operation, the TC temperature should not exceed 75°
Assembly Procedure of LED Mounting Profiles
Fig 2.1
Follow the procedure below for assembly of aluminium LED mounting profiles systems:
Arrange the diffuser segments in a staggered pattern, so that the diffuser overlaps any joins ion the profile. (see Fig 2.1 ) The installer must ensure the channel surface is perfect flat, even and there are no fixings, screws or any other object coming into contact with the LED components at any time.
The LED mounting profile is installed first. It should be fixed in place professionally and securely. Where two or more segments of mounting profile are joined to form a longer length, it is vital that the profile is butt ‐ joined neatly & squarely. The two pieces must be fixed very securely so there is no movement where the profile segments meet.
This guide is for generic information purposes only. Please refer to your qualified architect, designer or electrical contractor before finalising any details regarding wiring and installation. Installation of LED equipment must be made with regard to all applicable wiring & safety standards. Installation of any lighting product should only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel.
