“We’re proud to reveal the patented technology behind the LQD Cooling System,” said Tracy Bilbrough, CEO of SWITCH. “We have brought our liquid silicone coolant and patented driver together under one technology to deliver the best thermal management solution on the market. We can’t think of a better place to show exactly how it works than here at the LED Show,” said Bilbrough.

SWITCH’s advanced LQD Cooling System incorporates the company’s two proprietary components - a unique coolant made of liquid silicone and a highly efficient and reliable driver - under one technology. Liquid silicone is commonly used across many industries for its superior thermal management qualities. It is an ingredient in certain food and cosmetic products, and is also used for cooling large machinery and power plant equipment. A completely safe, food-grade product, liquid silicone is electrically nonconductive, non-toxic, non-staining, and does not degrade LEDs.

The system works in sync to cool the LEDs and internal electrical components, using the bulb’s entire surface to disperse heat. As a result, SWITCH LED A-Lamps offer the best in-class thermal management in the lighting industry, with up to 40% better performance than air-cooled LED lamps. SWITCH’s superior thermal performance means SWITCH lamps can be used in any fixture, even fully enclosed or recessed,and in any orientation without compromising light output or life.
