LEDs are rapidly changing the world of lightning due to their efficiency, size, durability, lifetime cost and reduced environmental impact.

In many countries new legislations are encouraging the consumers to replace conventional light bulbs with more energy saving options.

The world wide LED market in lightning applications increased from $1.2 billion in 2010 to $1.8 billion in 2011.

The new innovations are emerging to the market in order to challenge the dominance of aluminium as a material of choice in LED cooling. Plastics are a logical choice, however, the performance demands are very high.

While metals are often chosen for their high thermal conductivity, many applications do not require this high thermal transfer.

Coolics® , the new patent pending innovation enables environmentally friendly LED cooling without the use of aluminium.

Coolics® technology is based on two innovations:

1. Coolics® uses a proprietary family of polymers which includes several different recipes of polymers combined with the innovative use of ceramic components.
   
   
2. Coolics® injection moulding technology where heat generating electronic component is inserted to thermally conducting raw material.
