LED Heatsink Design & Thermal Management

LED Heat Management Capabilities

Effective thermal management is fundamental to the design of a complete LED solution. 

At Forge, our expert engineers use the latest technology and design methods to create effective LED thermal management for any lighting design.
We use the latest Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology to simulate and analyse custom heatsink designs to optimise thermal efficiency. This advanced computational software applies mathematical simulations of realistic physics to visualise all aspects of the design before manufacturing. As a result, CFD is an effective tool for analysing thermal properties during LED heatsink design.
Our engineers will quickly evaluate and iterate designs before prototyping to reduce design time and improve effectiveness. We specialise in close communication as we rapidly take your design from idea to prototype to production. In addition, our laboratories have the thermal metrology capabilities to measure and demonstrate design compliance within the desired parameters for safety and energy efficiency.

Custom Heatsink Design
and Manufacture

At Forge, we design LED cooling systems with the latest manufacturing techniques, including extrusion, diecasting, stamping and injection moulding. We use a range of high-grade materials, including metals, plastics, and composites, to meet the specific requirements of any application.
Effective LED thermal management is crucial for long-lasting LED solutions that you can rely on. We understand that the look and feel of your LED product is just as important as its performance, and our designs strike a balance between functionality and aesthetics.
We have a lot of experience manufacturing bespoke LED heatsinks for maximum performance and to suit your application perfectly. In addition, we have many capabilities to create complete LED solutions in-house; explore our additional UK-based LED manufacturing services to see what we could provide for you.
