ATS Design Services Contacted for ECL’s New Recycled LED Street Light

Eco City Lights (ECL), a leading supplier of commercial and industrial LED lighting products, recently contacted ATS design services for help in solving thermal challenges on a newly developed application.

ATS performed a full thermal analysis on ECLs retro-fit solution for cobra head street lights. Services provided by ATS included simulation, validation and reporting for the heat sink, enclosure and system level applications. Experimentation was done in order to validate and optimize the current design and the thermal solution. Using IR Technology and multiple sensors throughout the fixture, LED, heat sink, and power supply, testing was performed to determine the true temperatures of the output and enclosure parameters. After numerous studies were conducted, in addition to reviewing 3D CAD models of the enclosure and application components, ATS was able to successfully analyze the existing thermal management solution for the retro-fit street light.

Eco City Lights felt it was most important to find a thermal management company to evaluate, analyze, and comment on our led lighting solutions. “After researching our options ECL determined that ATS was the best qualified to handle our project. After personally visiting with Joe Gaylord of ATS and talking with their engineers, we now have a product line that is thermally tested, proven, and cost effective. As our company continues to grow, we will be adding addition products and look forward to working with ATS in the future” said Ken Moeller, President of Eco City Lights.
