# LED Lighting: MC-PCBs

_Published: 2019-11-13_

LEDs are pretty hot nowadays! Not just the biggest tendency in lighting, but also require a lot of heat dissipation that standard PCB material just can’t handle. So what’s the solution? [Metal PCBs](https://www.bestpcbs.com/products/metal-core-pcb.htm). Standard PCB material typically has a thermal conductivity of 0.5 W/m K; which is not adequate for the current high intensity LEDs. With [MCPCB](https://www.bestpcbs.com/products/metal-core-pcb.htm) materials you can increase the life of your LEDs with better heat dissipation.
