Mechanical and electrical elements exclusive of thermal management materials may have a strong, unexpected impact on junction temperature. It is often possible to direct added cost to other parts of the product design to accomplish equal reduction in junction temperature while gaining performance in these other areas at the same time. Smart design and sound product development decisions will rightly
relegate thermal management materials to secondary status in products. Given a choice, the best place to invest is the LEDs themselves.
