Take a look at this neat prototype GE Light Bulb which uses Jet Engine Cooling Technology. Sometimes we see the use of some obscure technology just for the sake of adding some buzz words to the packaging. I don’t think that is the case here, this LED bulb can put out a serious amount of light but with the new cooling method it can dissipate the heat generated efficiently.


How GE’s dual cool jets technology works
GE dual cool jets are very small micro-fluidic bellows type devices that provide high-velocity jets of air, which impinge on the LED heat sink. These jets of air increase the heat transfer rate to more than ten times that of natural convection. The improved cooling enables LED operation at high drive currents without losses in efficiency or lifetime. For a given lumen output, the dual cool jets’ improved thermal management reduces the necessary LED chip count. This, in turn, can dramatically lower the cost of the lamp. In addition to performance and cost advantages, this cooling technology enables reductions in LED lamp size and weight. “
