In TOP compact LEDs, hundreds of LEDs fit into a very small space, making it difficult to dissipate the heat they produce. If the front of the light fixture is covered with glass or plastic, dissipation becomes even more problematic, and even worse if lenses are also used. In the EcoBar solution, the LEDs are spaced far apart. There is no glass or plastic; the dissipation surface, in contact with the air, is very large, and radiation occurs in all directions, thus greatly facilitating heat dissipation.
The following table shows the temperature and brightness loss values ​​for the various fixtures.
| Luminary | Heatsink Temperature after 30 minutes (Ta 23°C) | Brightness loss compared to a heatsink measurement at 25°C |
| EcoBar (full spectrum) | 35-37°C | 1.5% |
| Top LED without fron | 58-59°C | 4% |
| Top LED with glass | 68-70°C | 6.5% |
| Top LED with glass and optics | 73-75°C | 7% |
As you can see, the heat dissipation in EcoBars is significantly better.
