Abstract
The performance analysis of the 70 W class LED lighting system suitable for the Middle East environment was performed using the lumped parameter model. The LED light is composed of a heating substrate, a heat pipe, and a heat sink. We divided the LED lights into four objects and applied energy equilibrium to each of them to establish four lumped nonlinear differential equations. The solution of the simultaneous equations was obtained by the Runge-Kutta method. Convective heat transfer coefficients of the lumped model were obtained by multidimensional CFD analysis. As a result of comparison with experiment, it was found that the heating substrate had an error of $1.5^{\circ}C$ and the upper heat sink had an error of $1.8^{\circ}C$ and the relative error was about 0.6 %. Using this model, temperature distribution analysis was performed for normal operating conditions with an ambient temperature of $55^{\circ}C$, with sunlight only, with abnormal operating conditions with sunlight, and without an upper heat sink.
