I am working on a project currently being helped under the project forum.
So as not to confuse topics I have posted a separate thread.
I am using a 3 watt LED and under thermal management it says for a 3 Watt LED I need 50cm square of Heat sink So for 3 LED's I would need 150 cm square of Heat Sink.
Now what I am not sure of is how to work the area out of a heat Sink. Is Each side of a fine added and the Surface?
The datasheet talks about thermal conductivity which I am assuming is the material which I can find off the datasheet.
I just need the area clarified and if there are any additional tips I may need.
