Miniaturization and Thermal Challenges in Electronic Devices

The miniaturization of electrical and electronic devices is one of the main trends in technological innovation, but it brings a crucial challenge: heat management.
In increasingly compact spaces, internal temperature can rise rapidly, compromising electronics performance and durability.

This phenomenon is particularly evident in LED lighting systems, where heat accumulation can significantly reduce component lifespan, especially in COB LEDs or PCBs with high component density.
Heat dissipation is crucial in these contexts to ensure long-term reliability and performance.

Landa Illuminotecnica’s Innovative Choice

Landa Illuminotecnica, a Brescia-based company part of the Bugatti Group specializing in outdoor lighting, has chosen to address the thermal challenge innovatively by adopting LATI’s thermally conductive plastic materials for their new product lines Mira 65 (floor and wall recessed) and Lyras 65 (projectors).

Instead of using metal, Landa has chosen a LATI technical compound capable of combining thermal conductivity, electrical insulation, and mechanical strength, ensuring compact, safe, and high-quality products.

LATICONTHER: LATI’s Material for Thermal Conduction

For this project, Landa Illuminotecnica’s engineers selected LATICONTHER 62 CP6/650-V0HF1, a PA6-based thermoplastic compound developed by LATI and reinforced with glass fibers and thermally conductive ceramic fillers.

Its main characteristics include:

  • Thermal conductivity exceeding 4 W/mK, over 20 times higher than the base resin

  • Complete electrical insulation, ideal for power applications

  • UL94-V0 flame retardancy, with halogen-free and red phosphorus-free formulation

  • Excellent mechanical strength, suitable for assembly and installation operations

  • Excellent aesthetic finish and moldability, guaranteed by Macchiplast from Locate Varesino (CO), partner in the production of light housings

Thanks to these properties, LATICONTHER represents an ideal solution for metal replacement in applications requiring thermal dissipation, electrical safety, and environmental sustainability.

Synergy and Made in Italy Innovation

The Mira 65 and Lyras 65 lines are the result of an excellent Italian supply chain that unites three leading companies:

  • LATI – development of thermally conductive compound

  • Macchiplast – precision technical molding

  • Landa Illuminotecnica – design and production of the finished product

A collaboration that demonstrates how advanced Italian materials and industrial expertise can create innovative, efficient, and sustainable solutions in the lighting technology sector.
