Black Tank Receives LED Thermal Management Patent

	Black Tank's patented heat sink technology, integrated into Rosco's MIRO Cube family of products, is capable of efficiently dissipating large amounts of heat from high power LED chips.

Black Tank announces the award of US Patent No. 8,767,398 which has been granted in the USA and Mexico and is pending internationally.

The patented heat sink technology, integrated into Rosco's MIRO Cube family of products, is capable of efficiently dissipating large amounts of heat from high power LED chips and enables:
• Compact, lightweight luminaires with output equal to fixtures four to five times their size
• Extended fixture life via even and efficient heat removal -- without sacrificing light intensity
• The exterior of LED fixtures to stay cool to the touch during continuous operation
• Removal and replacement of LED modules -- providing a means to "future proof" the LEDs as technology progresses or as a means to maintain aging luminaires
• Fixture design without the need for bulky aluminum fins or heat sinks coupled to the fixture housing

"I want to congratulate the Black Tank team on this amazing achievement. Patents are granted every day -- but novel patents, on really effective thermal management strategies are hard to come by," said Robert Kodadek, president of Black Tank.
