• A heat sink is a cooling device with a thermal conductor made mostly of aluminum. Though the LED lamp absorbs no heat like a conventional incandescent with its hot filament, there is a certain amount of heat generated inside the semiconductor during the process of light emission and this heat has to be absorbed and dissipated to assure the efficiency, light quality and long life of the product. • EST heat-sinks are designed to combine technical performance with aesthetics.
