CoolBlock® ARENA-48 - New Cooler platform for sports fields and high-mast lighting

Over the last years MechaTronix have broadened our horizons with more and more cooler platforms for industrial lighting applications.

Herewith again a new wonderful product platform we recently developed for high-end sports field lighting and public lighting designs on high-mast, the CoolBlock® ARENA-48.

CoolStar® 3445 - Narrow beam compact spot lights

The market of compact spot lights for use in kitchens, porches, balconies,… is more and more asking for high-end lighting designs with consistent colors, long life time, perfect thermal management and a good flexibility in optical choices.

To fulfill that demand in the market, MechaTronix has developed the CoolStar® 3445, a high-end spotlight led cooler for designs in a diameter of just 35 millimeter.

MechaTronix unveils CoolStar® series of designer LED coolers

“Because looks do count”, that was the basic idea when MechaTronix started to develop their next platform of spot light, down light and shop light coolers… Inspiration for the design was searched in natural elements which express the feeling of cool or cold.

The result is an impressive series of new LED coolers with a stunning high end look. Koen Vangorp, CEO of MechaTronix “Although the first priority of a LED cooler remains a maximal cooling capacity in a limited volume, also the looks of the product are of great importance. Even recessed downlights and shop lights, where the majority of the volume is hidden in the ceiling, first need to be sold to the customer. And during that decision phase the LED cooler takes a big part of the looks for its account.”

MechaTronix CoolFin® - Horticulture LED Cooling

Horticulture lighting – how to keep it cool?

That horticulture lighting is hot these days is an understatement. The media attention, dedicated events and manifold speakers attracting the listeners all point out that there is a big future (read capital) behind led lighting in the horti- and agriculture sphere. All the players are preparing their strategies and products to earn a piece of the pie, and so is one of the thermal market leaders, MechaTronix from Taiwan. We speak to Koen Vangorp, CEO of the company.

“The thermal challenges and opportunities in horticulture lighting are from an unprecedented level and will definitely impact the future of our company. Were we started off with cooling of spot lights and down lights ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand lumen, we now end up in the era of kilowatts of energy losses which need to be cooled away, environments with extreme needs on temperature and humidity control, and nothing yet standardized on the market…”

MechaTronix - horticulture top lighting made easy

With 3 off-the-shelf available pin fin coolers, all aiming at horticulture lighting projects, we offer the most comprehensive range of standard LED engines ever developed. What makes the CoolBlock® LED Coolers so ideal for horticulture and floriculture top light projects.

MechaTronix eyes outdoor LED market, reveals next industrial cooler platform

Just a few months after the launch of the 2x2MX, the next standardization in outdoor light engines is a fact. This time Lumileds, Ledil and MechaTronix joined forces to create a 2x6 emitter platform for outdoor use. The scope of this LED platform ranges from integration in street lights over high mast applications to industrial high bays. The heart is the Lumileds Luxeon XR-TX, sitting on the MechaTronix CoolBlock® 2x6 LX and covered by the Ledil Strada IP 2x6. Result… an ultra-compact waterproof LED engine, thermally validated, easy to assemble with off-the-shelf available components creating up to 4000 lumen.

CoolBeam® kits from MechaTronix enable high lumen outdoor lighting

Specifically  developed  around  the  2x2MX  LED  platform,  MechaTronix  launches  a  series  of  patented  building  kits  for  outdoor  luminaires like  stadium  lights,  high  mast  and  industrial  flood  lights.  The  kits  dubbed the CoolBeam® platform host  3 up to 12 CoolBlock® 2x2MX LED engines, generating from 5.000 all the way up to 60.000 lumen.

While standardizations have been mainly focusing on retail and indoor lighting application, also the field of industrial lighting is undergoing a same move. Availability of standard building bricks lead to a shorter time to market, crucial in the hectic lighting world of today.

One of the newest and most popular platforms used for outdoor lighting applications is dubbed the 2x2MX platform. 4 high power LEDs (typical 10W), 4 groups of mid power LEDs, or 4 COBs are placed in a square to generate 4000 up to 6000 lumen, and that in a size as compact as 96x96 millimeter. The complete LED engine is IP67 waterproof after assembly, what makes it utmost suitable for outdoor applications like high mast luminaires, industrial flood lights or street lights.

MechaTronix acquires Cooling House strengthens market leadership in LED cooling

MechaTronix, part of the Eight Lakes Group and headquartered in Kaohsiung Taiwan, announced its next major milestone with the acquisition of Cooling House. Cooling House, based in New Taipei City Wugu Taiwan, is a technology leader in advanced two-phase cooling. Their high power cooling solutions are based on advanced heat pipes and thermosyphons. As experts in remote heat transfer, they can offer innovative thermal solutions that save energy on an application level and that enable system builders to use higher performance electronics components.

CoolBay® Tera approved for 50.000 lumen COB

New worlds of LED lighting are revealing themselves, worlds we couldn’t dream about just a few years ago…

When Citizen created the “Monster” COB package CLU550, able of creating over 50.000 lumen of light output, it wasn’t so sure yet if anyone would be able to cool it down to temperatures which would lead to the life time this kind of industrial applications would require.
