Heat Sinking and Mounting
The LuxStrip II has five mounting points for #4, or #6 screws used with fiber or nylon washers. These screw
holes are provided to allow secure connection to the heat sink. Thermal epoxy, or double-sided thermal tape may
be used for speedy and easy assembly. The LuxStrip II should be attached to additional heat sink for proper
thermal management. At minimum, a heat sink of a metal plate (copper or aluminum), attched using a thermal
interface material, should be used to increase the area exposed to free air.
The LuxStrip II FR4 Printed Circuit Board has a backing plate that is electrically isolated from the emitter. It is
not necessary to use an electrically insulating thermal interface material.
Configuration
To be able to fit lengths of less than 12", the LuxStrip II can be trimmed as necessary. This method is called "stub",
where the unpowered end of the strip is cut to fit the fixture or extrusion. A common hacksaw and soldering iron
is all that is required to allow for field modification of the strips to accommodate custom installations. Jumper
pads are available at each cut point to shorten the electrical length of each string. Simply jump the pad that is
located before the cut. The remaining LEDs will get the proper current and voltage since they have their own
driver. As the length of the LuxStrip II is reduced, the minimum voltage to power the unit is also reduced. Using
this approach, here are the possible lengths:
Length
305mm (12”)
254mm (10”)
203mm (8”)
152mm (6”)
102mm (4”)
