But after years of engineering custom LED strips for contractors worldwide, we've learned that chasing raw lumens without a thermal plan is a recipe for premature failure and unhappy clients.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Balancing brightness and heat dissipation requires selecting appropriate PCB substrates, specifying adequate thermal accessories like aluminum profiles, using real-time temperature monitoring, and sometimes choosing two lower-power strips instead of one high-power strip to distribute heat and extend operational lifespan.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>High brightness is essentially trading lifespan for luminous output\u2014no exceptions <a href=\"https:\/\/glowinled.com\/products\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">aluminum profiles<\/a> <sup id=\"ref-2\"><a href=\"#footnote-2\" class=\"footnote-ref\">2<\/a><\/sup>. We usually advise clients not to blindly chase high wattage. Instead, check whether the installation environment has sufficient cooling\u2014aluminum channels, airflow, ambient temperature <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Junction_temperature\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LED junction temperatures<\/a> <sup id=\"ref-3\"><a href=\"#footnote-3\" class=\"footnote-ref\">3<\/a><\/sup>. If cooling is limited, layering two low-power strips often outperforms one high-power strip pushed to its thermal limit. Once temperature climbs, lumen depreciation accelerates. Many project failures aren't caused by insufficient brightness at the start. They're caused by brightness dropping too fast. That balance point must be decided before a single meter of strip is installed. Let's break down exactly how to get it right.<\/p>\n<h2>How do I choose the right PCB thickness to manage heat in my high-lumen LED strip projects?<\/h2>\n<p>We prototype dozens of high-lumen strip designs each quarter, and PCB thickness is one of the first decisions our engineers debate. Get it wrong, and no amount of external heatsinking will save the project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For high-lumen LED strips, choose a minimum 2oz copper PCB thickness. For strips exceeding 20W\/m, upgrade to 3oz or even 4oz copper. Thicker copper layers spread heat laterally faster, lowering LED junction temperatures and protecting both brightness and lifespan over thousands of hours.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Why PCB Thickness Matters More Than You Think<\/h3>\n<p>The PCB is the first thermal pathway. Heat generated at the LED junction must travel through the solder pad, into the copper trace, and then into the PCB substrate before it ever reaches an external heatsink. If the copper layer is too thin, it creates a thermal bottleneck. The heat stays trapped near the LED chip. Junction temperature rises. Efficiency drops. Color shifts. Life shortens.<\/p>\n<p>Think of it like a highway. A two-lane road can handle moderate traffic. But during rush hour, you need four lanes. High-lumen strips are always in rush hour. More wattage means more thermal traffic, and the copper layer is your road width.<\/p>\n<h3>Standard vs. Heavy Copper: A Practical Comparison<\/h3>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>PCB Copper Weight<\/th>\n<th>Typical Use Case<\/th>\n<th><a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/science\/thermal-conductivity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Thermal Conductivity<\/a> <sup id=\"ref-4\"><a href=\"#footnote-4\" class=\"footnote-ref\">4<\/a><\/sup> Performance<\/th>\n<th>Recommended Max Power Density<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>1oz (35\u00b5m)<\/td>\n<td>Decorative, \u226410W\/m<\/td>\n<td>Baseline<\/td>\n<td>10W\/m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2oz (70\u00b5m)<\/td>\n<td>General commercial, 10\u201320W\/m<\/td>\n<td>~40% better lateral spreading vs. 1oz<\/td>\n<td>20W\/m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3oz (105\u00b5m)<\/td>\n<td>High-output architectural, 20\u201330W\/m<\/td>\n<td>~70% better lateral spreading vs. 1oz<\/td>\n<td>30W\/m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4oz (140\u00b5m)<\/td>\n<td>Extreme luminosity, 30W\/m+<\/td>\n<td>~100% better lateral spreading vs. 1oz<\/td>\n<td>40W\/m+<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>When we fulfill orders for projects in Australia where ambient temperatures can exceed 40\u00b0C, we default to 2oz minimum. For long-run installations in enclosed coves\u2014where airflow is near zero\u2014we push clients toward 3oz. The cost increase is modest. The reliability improvement is significant.<\/p>\n<h3>Don't Forget Substrate Material<\/h3>\n<p>Copper weight is only part of the equation. The base substrate matters too. Standard FR4 has poor thermal conductivity\u2014around 0.3 W\/mK. <a href=\"https:\/\/glowinled.com\/how-to-evaluate-led-strip-supplier-pcb-design-capability\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aluminum-core PCBs (MCPCBs)<\/a> <sup id=\"ref-5\"><a href=\"#footnote-5\" class=\"footnote-ref\">5<\/a><\/sup> jump to 1.0\u20132.0 W\/mK. For extreme applications, ceramic substrates can reach 20+ W\/mK, though cost and flexibility suffer.<\/p>\n<p>For most high-brightness LED strip projects, an aluminum-core PCB with 2oz or 3oz copper is the sweet spot. It balances cost, manufacturability, and thermal performance. We've tested this combination extensively on our lines and the results are consistent: junction temperatures drop 10\u201315\u00b0C compared to FR4 at the same power density.<\/p>\n<h3>A Word on Flexibility<\/h3>\n<p>Thicker copper means stiffer PCB. If your project requires tight bending radii\u2014curved coves, radius under 50mm\u2014a 3oz or 4oz board won't flex well. In these cases, consider using a 2oz flexible PCB and compensating with better external thermal management. It's always a system-level decision.<\/p>\n<div class=\"claim-pair\">\n<div class=\"claim claim-true\">\n<div class=\"claim-title\"><span class=\"claim-icon\">\u2714<\/span> Increasing PCB copper weight from 1oz to 2oz significantly improves lateral heat spreading and reduces LED junction temperature. <span class=\"claim-label\">True<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"claim-explanation\">Thicker copper layers provide a wider thermal pathway, allowing heat to dissipate across a larger area before reaching the substrate, which measurably lowers junction temperatures under identical power loads.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"claim claim-false\">\n<div class=\"claim-title\"><span class=\"claim-icon\">\u2718<\/span> A thicker PCB automatically solves all heat issues, making external heatsinks unnecessary. <span class=\"claim-label\">False<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"claim-explanation\">PCB copper weight only addresses the first stage of the thermal path. Without an external heatsink or aluminum profile, heat still accumulates in the substrate and ambient air, eventually raising junction temperatures to damaging levels in high-power applications.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>What thermal management accessories should I specify for my extreme luminosity installations?<\/h2>\n<p>When we ship high-brightness strips to electrical contractors in Germany, the conversation never stops at the strip itself. The accessories you specify around the strip determine whether the system thrives or fails within months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For extreme luminosity installations, specify aluminum extrusion profiles with adequate cross-sectional area, thermal adhesive tape or paste for strip-to-profile bonding, and ensure surrounding airflow or ventilation. In confined spaces, consider active cooling or oversized profiles to compensate for restricted convective dissipation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width:100%; height:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/glowinled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/v2-article-1770361905176-1.jpg\" alt=\"thermal management aluminum profile LED strip installation\"><\/p>\n<h3>The Aluminum Profile Is Non-Negotiable<\/h3>\n<p>An aluminum extrusion profile serves as the primary heatsink for most LED strip installations. It absorbs heat from the PCB rear surface and radiates it into the surrounding air. Without one, even a well-designed 2oz copper strip will overheat at power densities above 14W\/m in a typical indoor environment.<\/p>\n<p>But not all profiles are equal. A slim decorative profile with a 10mm \u00d7 6mm cross-section cannot dissipate the same heat as a recessed profile measuring 30mm \u00d7 20mm. Surface area is everything. More aluminum mass and more exposed surface area mean more heat can leave the system.<\/p>\n<h3>Matching Profile to Power Density<\/h3>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Strip Power Density<\/th>\n<th>Minimum Recommended Profile Size<\/th>\n<th>Installation Condition<\/th>\n<th>Notes<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\u226410W\/m<\/td>\n<td>Small surface-mount (15mm \u00d7 6mm)<\/td>\n<td>Open air, good ventilation<\/td>\n<td>Decorative applications<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10\u201320W\/m<\/td>\n<td>Medium recessed (20mm \u00d7 12mm)<\/td>\n<td>Semi-enclosed cove<\/td>\n<td>Standard commercial projects<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>20\u201330W\/m<\/td>\n<td>Large recessed or suspended (30mm \u00d7 20mm)<\/td>\n<td>Enclosed or warm ambient<\/td>\n<td>Ensure thermal tape contact<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>30W\/m+<\/td>\n<td>Oversized or custom profile (40mm+ width)<\/td>\n<td>High ambient, no airflow<\/td>\n<td>Consider active cooling assist<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Thermal Interface Materials<\/h3>\n<p>The bond between the LED strip and the aluminum profile is critical. An air gap\u2014even a tiny one\u2014acts as an insulator. We recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tekra.com\/products\/adhesives-tapes\/3m-thermally-conductive-tapes-for-electronics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">thermal adhesive tape<\/a> <sup id=\"ref-6\"><a href=\"#footnote-6\" class=\"footnote-ref\">6<\/a><\/sup> rated at 1.0 W\/mK or higher. For extreme cases, thermal paste applied before mechanical clamping provides even better contact. The goal is zero air between the strip's back surface and the profile's inner channel.<\/p>\n<h3>When Passive Cooling Isn't Enough<\/h3>\n<p>In some projects, passive heatsinking simply cannot keep up. Enclosed ceiling slots with no airflow. Outdoor installations in tropical climates. Industrial environments near heat-generating equipment. In these scenarios, you have several options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ventilation fans<\/strong>: Small, low-noise fans at profile ends create forced airflow through the channel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Larger profiles<\/strong>: Doubling the profile cross-section can drop temperatures by 8\u201312\u00b0C.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Two strips instead of one<\/strong>: This is our most frequent recommendation. Instead of one 30W\/m strip, use two 15W\/m strips on parallel profiles. You get the same total output with dramatically better heat distribution. Each strip runs cooler, lasts longer, and maintains color consistency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Weatherproofing and Sealing Considerations<\/h3>\n<p>For outdoor or wet-area installations, IP67 or IP68 silicone extrusions add another thermal layer. Silicone is a moderate insulator, so it traps some heat. Factor this into your thermal budget. If you're using a silicone-sleeved strip at 20W\/m, treat it thermally as if it's 25W\/m and size your profile accordingly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"claim-pair\">\n<div class=\"claim claim-true\">\n<div class=\"claim-title\"><span class=\"claim-icon\">\u2714<\/span> Aluminum extrusion profiles with larger cross-sectional area dissipate more heat and are essential for high-power LED strip installations. <span class=\"claim-label\">True<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"claim-explanation\">Greater surface area and aluminum mass provide more thermal capacity and convective surface, directly reducing the operating temperature of the LED strip mounted inside.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"claim claim-false\">\n<div class=\"claim-title\"><span class=\"claim-icon\">\u2718<\/span> Sticking an LED strip directly onto a drywall ceiling without a profile is fine as long as the strip has good PCB copper. <span class=\"claim-label\">False<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"claim-explanation\">Drywall is a thermal insulator (approximately 0.16 W\/mK). Without an aluminum profile, heat cannot escape the PCB effectively, causing rapid junction temperature rise regardless of copper weight, especially at power densities above 10W\/m.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>How can I prevent heat-induced color shifting in my high-power LED lighting designs?<\/h2>\n<p>Color consistency is one of the strictest requirements our clients in architectural lighting demand. When we run QC on our production batches, we test for color deviation under thermal stress\u2014because what looks perfect at 25\u00b0C can drift noticeably at 70\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To prevent heat-induced color shifting, maintain LED junction temperatures below the manufacturer's rated maximum, use LED chips with tight binning tolerances, design thermal systems that keep operating temperatures stable, and select drivers with constant-current regulation to prevent overdrive-related thermal spikes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width:100%; height:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/glowinled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-1-multimeter-side-strip-screen-microscope-lab-bench-close-technician-per-c40ef436.jpg\" alt=\"LED strip color shift high temperature thermal testing\"><\/p>\n<h3>How Heat Causes Color Shift<\/h3>\n<p>LED phosphor chemistry is temperature-sensitive. As junction temperature rises, the phosphor conversion efficiency changes. In most white LEDs, higher temperatures cause a shift toward the blue end of the spectrum. The warm white you specified at 3000K may drift to 3200K or higher under sustained heat. In critical applications\u2014hotel lobbies, retail displays, museum lighting\u2014this drift is visible and unacceptable.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, different LED chips within the same strip may heat unevenly. LEDs near the power feed run cooler. LEDs at the far end of a long run may heat more. This creates a visible color gradient along the strip's length.<\/p>\n<h3>Binning and Consistency at the Source<\/h3>\n<p>Color consistency starts at the chip level. LED manufacturers sort chips into \"bins\" based on color coordinates, forward voltage, and luminous flux. Tight binning means all chips in a batch fall within a narrow range\u2014typically within a <a href=\"https:\/\/glowinled.com\/cob-led-strip-color-consistency-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3-step MacAdam ellipse<\/a> <sup id=\"ref-8\"><a href=\"#footnote-8\" class=\"footnote-ref\">8<\/a><\/sup> for premium applications.<\/p>\n<p>When we source LEDs for architectural projects, we specify 3-step SDCM maximum. We also request single-bin lots for large projects. This means every reel ships with chips from the same production bin. The visual uniformity across hundreds of meters is dramatically better than mixed-bin sourcing.<\/p>\n<h3>Thermal Design Strategies for Color Stability<\/h3>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Strategy<\/th>\n<th>Effect on Color Stability<\/th>\n<th>Implementation Difficulty<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Adequate aluminum heatsinking<\/td>\n<td>Keeps junction temp stable; prevents drift<\/td>\n<td>Low<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Constant-current LED driver<\/td>\n<td>Prevents current spikes that cause local heating<\/td>\n<td>Low<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Single-bin LED sourcing<\/td>\n<td>Eliminates inter-chip color variation<\/td>\n<td>Medium (supply chain)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Derating strip power (run at 80% max)<\/td>\n<td>Reduces thermal load; improves consistency<\/td>\n<td>Low<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Thermal paste interface<\/td>\n<td>Eliminates hot spots from air gaps<\/td>\n<td>Low<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Active temperature monitoring<\/td>\n<td>Alerts before drift occurs<\/td>\n<td>Medium<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Derating: The Most Underused Trick<\/h3>\n<p>Running a strip at 80% of its rated maximum power is one of the simplest ways to improve color stability. At reduced power, junction temperatures stay lower, phosphor stress decreases, and the strip operates well within its safe thermal envelope. The brightness reduction is often imperceptible, especially when the strip was over-specified to begin with.<\/p>\n<p>On our production line, we test every strip at full rated power and at 80% power. The color difference at 80% load after 1,000 hours of accelerated aging is consistently less than 1 SDCM step. At 100% load in a poorly ventilated setup, that same strip can drift 2\u20133 steps. The lesson is clear: a small power reduction buys significant color stability.<\/p>\n<h3>Driver Quality Matters<\/h3>\n<p>A cheap driver with poor current regulation will cause flickering and micro-surges that create uneven heating. Over time, this accelerates phosphor degradation and causes inconsistent color. Always specify drivers with \u22643% current ripple and proper thermal protection. When we bundle drivers with our strip orders, we test the combination as a system, not just as separate components.<\/p>\n<div class=\"claim-pair\">\n<div class=\"claim claim-true\">\n<div class=\"claim-title\"><span class=\"claim-icon\">\u2714<\/span> Running LED strips at 80% of rated power significantly improves long-term color consistency by keeping junction temperatures lower. <span class=\"claim-label\">True<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"claim-explanation\">Lower operating power directly reduces heat generation at the LED junction, slowing phosphor degradation and minimizing thermally induced color temperature drift over the strip's operational life.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"claim claim-false\">\n<div class=\"claim-title\"><span class=\"claim-icon\">\u2718<\/span> Color shifting in LED strips is caused only by poor-quality LEDs and cannot be influenced by installation or thermal design. <span class=\"claim-label\">False<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"claim-explanation\">Even premium LEDs with tight binning will shift color if junction temperatures are not managed. Installation factors\u2014heatsinking, airflow, driver quality, and mounting method\u2014directly affect thermal conditions and therefore color stability.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>How do I verify that my custom high-brightness strips won't overheat during long-run operation?<\/h2>\n<p>Before we ship a single reel to a client, our QC team runs thermal validation on every new custom design. We've learned the hard way\u2014from early project callbacks\u2014that lab performance and real-world performance can diverge dramatically if you don't test under realistic conditions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To verify high-brightness strips won't overheat during long runs, conduct thermal testing with strips mounted on the actual heatsink profile, run them at full power for a minimum of 4 hours, and measure surface temperatures at multiple points. Junction temperature should stay below 85\u00b0C in typical applications to ensure rated lifespan.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width:100%; height:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/glowinled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2-1-ip67-ip68-fcffacae.webp\" alt=\"LED strip thermal testing long run verification temperature measurement\"><\/p>\n<h3>Step 1: Define Your Thermal Budget<\/h3>\n<p>Before testing, establish your temperature ceiling. Most mid-to-high-end LED chips are rated for junction temperatures up to 120\u00b0C, but operating near that limit destroys lifespan. A practical target is 80\u201385\u00b0C junction temperature for a 50,000-hour L70 lifespan. Every 10\u00b0C above that roughly halves usable life.<\/p>\n<p>Your thermal budget calculation starts with ambient temperature. If the installation is in an Australian summer where ambient hits 45\u00b0C, you have only 35\u201340\u00b0C of headroom before reaching your junction limit. That's far less margin than a climate-controlled German office at 22\u00b0C ambient.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Test Under Realistic Conditions<\/h3>\n<p>Testing a strip loose on a bench means nothing. Mount the strip inside the actual aluminum profile you plan to use. Attach the diffuser. If the project is recessed into a ceiling, build a mock cavity. Seal it the way it will be sealed on-site. Then power the strip at full rated wattage and let it run.<\/p>\n<p>We use K-type thermocouples attached directly to the strip surface at three points: near the feed end, at the midpoint, and at the far end. We also place a thermocouple on the exterior of the aluminum profile. Data loggers record temperature every 30 seconds for at least 4 hours\u2014long enough for the system to reach thermal equilibrium.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Interpret Your Results<\/h3>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Measurement Point<\/th>\n<th>Acceptable Range<\/th>\n<th>Warning Zone<\/th>\n<th>Critical \/ Redesign<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Strip surface near feed<\/td>\n<td>\u226455\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>55\u201365\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>&gt;65\u00b0C<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Strip surface at far end<\/td>\n<td>\u226460\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>60\u201370\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>&gt;70\u00b0C<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Profile exterior surface<\/td>\n<td>\u226445\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>45\u201355\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>&gt;55\u00b0C<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Estimated junction temp*<\/td>\n<td>\u226485\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>85\u2013100\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>&gt;100\u00b0C<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>*Junction temperature is estimated by adding 10\u201320\u00b0C to the measured strip surface temperature, depending on the LED package.<\/p>\n<p>If any measurement lands in the warning zone, consider derating, upgrading the profile, or improving airflow. If anything hits the critical zone, the design needs revision before deployment.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Long-Duration Burn-In<\/h3>\n<p>For mission-critical projects\u2014hospitals, transit stations, high-profile retail\u2014we recommend a 72-hour continuous burn-in test. This catches intermittent driver issues, thermal paste failures, and solder joint weaknesses that a 4-hour test might miss. We run these extended tests on every custom order above 500 meters.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Document and Share<\/h3>\n<p>After testing, compile a thermal test report. Include photos of the test setup, temperature curves, ambient conditions, and pass\/fail conclusions. We provide these reports to our clients as part of the project documentation package. It gives contractors and specifiers confidence during installation sign-off and protects everyone if questions arise later.<\/p>\n<h3>Smart Monitoring for Ongoing Assurance<\/h3>\n<p>For installations that are difficult to inspect after commissioning\u2014recessed coves, exterior facades, signage channels\u2014embedding a simple NTC thermistor at a critical point allows ongoing remote temperature monitoring. When connected to a smart controller, the system can dim the strip automatically if temperatures exceed a set threshold. This protects the investment for years without manual intervention.<\/p>\n<div class=\"claim-pair\">\n<div class=\"claim claim-true\">\n<div class=\"claim-title\"><span class=\"claim-icon\">\u2714<\/span> Thermal testing must be performed with the LED strip mounted inside its actual installation profile and enclosure to produce meaningful results. <span class=\"claim-label\">True<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"claim-explanation\">Bench testing without the real heatsink and enclosure ignores the thermal resistance of the actual system, producing artificially low temperature readings that do not reflect field conditions.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"claim claim-false\">\n<div class=\"claim-title\"><span class=\"claim-icon\">\u2718<\/span> If an LED strip feels cool to the touch after 10 minutes, it will be fine during continuous long-run operation. <span class=\"claim-label\">False<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"claim-explanation\">Thermal equilibrium in enclosed or semi-enclosed installations typically takes 1\u20134 hours to reach.
