![]() LEDs produce a large amount of heat per area which can seem high because of there size but overall is very little. The junction temperature (between LED and heat sink) needs to be kept relatively cool to insure the LEDs don't overheat, in order to do this the heat sink has to be large enough and kept cool enough to maintain allowable LED temperatures. The cooler the heatsink the better the LEDs work and the longer they last. Most heat sinks probably run around 25-30°C. Last edited by sphelps; 10-03-2013 at 07:34 PM. |

I've had or still own: Sol Blues, Sol Hydras, Zetlight and Ecoexotic Panorama Pros. I know how heat sinks work so no explanation needed. Speaking from actual experience rather than something i've read. ![]() |

![]() Obviously the operating temperature will vary for different devices, not sure why you would compare LED temperatures requirements to that of a power supply.

![]() Forget the heat sinks! Steve, tell us what you think about the hybrid LED+T5 fixtures.
