yes there will be some issues solved but don't throw away your chiller yet, the luxton stars and other high power LEDs do throw off a lot of heat. as you know a LEDs is a dioed and the product of light is heat. because the little 5mm LEDs produced so little light they also produced little heat, but the High power LEDs (1 to 5watt) do chuck out a bunch of heat. will it be less than a MH... yes but I wouldn't even try to guess if it will be 2/3s the amount or what.. what I do know is that if they put out the same amount of light (PAR doesn't matter) you are going to get the exact same amount of radiation heat from the light its self. Now power venting might take care of the heat from these or it might not, so when you buy one let us know.
