Heat Dissipation Design in Hight Voltage Stage Lights: Light Sky Patented Technology — Dynamic Temperature Control System
Heat dissipation has been the headache that harasses stage light, LED light, to a broader extent, technology development. As it will greatly influence the lifespan and maintenance cost and pose damage to the environment, progress in heat dissipation technology is urgent.
Recently, Light Sky has launched a new technology, Dynamic Temperature Control System, and rolled out a series of new stage lighting gears applied with the new temperature control system. Then what’s new about the new technology? What transformation will it bring? This article might give you some hints.
LED Stage Lights vs. HID Headlight vs. Laser Light: What’s the Difference?
Before getting to know the importance of heat control systems, let’s get to know the mainstream of stage lights.
LED Stage Light
LEDs, or Light light-emitting diodes, are clusters of hundreds or thousands of diodes that use non-radioactive elements like arsenic or gallium to direct electricity in a particular direction. These powerful optical transmitters emit light when electricity passes through them. By utilizing various wavelengths, LEDs can produce a wide spectrum of colors.
Their intensity is easily adjustable, offering remarkable versatility and flexibility to fit into any fixture. LED PAR lights, in particular, are designed to direct the audience’s attention and guide their eyes to specific contexts. Event planners widely use these lights for weddings, stage performances, theatrical plays, parties, decorations, aircraft lighting, and both indoor and outdoor applications due to their adaptability and effectiveness.
HID Headlight
HID headlights operate similarly to neon lights, using high voltage to pass current through a gas-filled tube with electrodes at both ends. As the temperature increases, metallic salts in the bulb vaporize, reducing resistance in the electrical arc. The arc is then maintained by the vehicle’s power supply.
Laser Stage Light
Laser stage lights have revolutionized the theater and performance world with their high-intensity beams generated through optical amplification. Renowned for their extreme precision, intense colors, and ability to create vivid patterns and effects, these lights are a preferred choice for adding visual drama and enhancing the emotional tone of any performance.
Feature | LED Lights | (HID) Lights | Laser Lights |
Efficiency | High (80-90 lumens/watt) | Moderate (70-100 lumens/watt) | Very High (up to 170 lumens/watt) |
Lifespan | Long (25,000-50,000 hours) | Moderate (10,000-24,000 hours) | Long (up to 50,000 hours) |
Cost | Moderate to High initial cost but low operating cost | Lower initial cost, higher operating cost | Very High initial cost, low operating cost |
Color Temperature | Wide range (2700K – 6500K) | Moderate range (3000K – 6000K) | Variable (typically 4500K – 6500K) |
Warm-up Time | Instant | Slow (up to several minutes) | Instant |
Dimming Capability | Excellent | Limited | Good |
Size | Compact | Larger | Very compact |
Heat Emission | Low | High | Very Low |
Durability | High (resistant to shock and vibration) | Moderate (fragile components) | High (resistant to shock and vibration) |
Environmental Impact | Low (no hazardous materials) | Higher (contains mercury and other toxins) | Low (no hazardous materials) |
Applications | Wide (residential, commercial, automotive, etc.) | Specific (street lighting, large venues, automotive) | Specialized (automotive, projectors, medical) |
Pros | Energy-efficient, long-lasting, low heat emission | Brighter light, longer lifespan, greater efficiency, farther reach, broader coverage, less power consumption than halogen | Extremely efficient, compact size, instant-on, long-lasting |
Cons | Higher initial cost than halogen | High initial cost, potential glare, warm-up time, environmental concerns due to hazardous materials | Very high initial cost, complex technology |
In the optoelectronic industry, mainstream light sources are generally divided into three types: high-pressure gas discharge lamps, LEDs, and lasers. Each of these light sources has its unique advantages and limitations.
Although LED light sources are highly praised for their environmental friendliness and long lifespan, their light penetration capability has not yet reached the level of the other two types, and thus not that available to be used outdoors.
A Comprehensive Introduction of Light Sky’s Dynamic Temperature Control System (DTCS)
With the flourishing development of the entertainment market, the demand for lighting equipment and optoelectronic products has surged. However, high-pressure gas discharge lamps, one of the mainstream light sources, have not effectively resolved the heat dissipation issue, resulting in a short lifespan of the lamps.
Therefore, it requires frequent replacements, which is another economic burden. Not to mention the environmental protection policies in some countries and regions. Against this background, the Light Sky DTCS is developed.
The Dynamic Temperature Control System (DTCS) is a patented cooling technology that addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies.
The new temperature control system features a novel cooling structure and method. This prevents localized overheating or overcooling of the light source components, achieving precise temperature control. As a result, the stage lights exhibit excellent physical performance even when deviating from the design temperature, closely matching the ideal light span.
