Hello all, At Cook, we, like a number of you I’m sure, have replaced nearly all of our Power Block incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs with LED lights. We are now working with a few vendors trying to navigate the waters of nuclear safety and replace our incandescent bulbs in containment with LED lights. If you have installed LED lights in your containment, or have some knowledge you could enlighten me with, I’d greatly appreciate it.
One obvious roadblock is the “typical” aluminum heat sink installed on an LED light to extend its life. Unfortunately, the benefits of the heat sink are significantly reduced if you have to keep the glass, “jelly jar” installed over the light. Have any of you used the Keronite process (similar to anodizing) to coat/seal aluminum items (heat sinks) installed in your containment? Thank you, [http://logos.aepsc.com/images/IMTagline/Web/PNG/IM_Tag_RGB_RG.png] David A.
