Heat Sink for LED Strips

An LED heat sink is an aluminium base designed to be installed directly beneath your LED strip to improve thermal performance and extend product lifespan. It provides a stable mounting surface for the strip, while the LED profile is then fitted over the top to complete the installation.

The key purpose of the heat sink is to draw heat away from the LED tape. Excess heat is one of the main causes of reduced performance and early failure, so installing an aluminium heat sink helps maintain lower operating temperatures and ensures consistent light output over time. By improving heat dissipation, it significantly prolongs the life of both the LED strip and the overall installation.

Once the strip is secured to the heat sink, the LED profile and diffuser can be fitted above, delivering a clean, professional finish with smooth and even light distribution. The heat sink works behind the scenes, ensuring the system remains efficient and reliable.
