LED PCBs

What is an LED PCB?

An LED PCB is a printed circuit board designed to support and power light-emitting diodes (LEDs). It allows precise control over LED behaviour through various chips or switches, making it ideal for a wide range of lighting applications.

Where Are They Used?

LED PCBs are essential across many industries, including:

• Automotive lighting
• Street and tunnel lighting
• Telecoms and computing display panels
• Flashlights and work lamps
• Signal lighting
• Medical device and room lighting

Their popularity is driven by key advantages:

• Cost-effective and energy-efficient
• Reliable and long-lasting
• Low power consumption
• Lightweight and compact
• Dirt - and moisture-resistant
• Versatile in design, colour, and size

Key Challenge: Thermal Management

While many LEDs run cool, high-intensity LED arrays can generate significant heat, which must be carefully managed to ensure performance and lifespan. Smart design, precise prototyping, heat sinks, and metallic substrates are common solutions for effective heat dissipation.
