minus-squareDarkThoughtslinkfedilink11•6 months agoKinda crazy to think about considering that LEDs are so efficient that they typically do not produce any significant heat at the use cases we’re used to.
minus-square@w2tpmf@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink17•6 months agoThe part that emmits the light doesn’t produce heat radiation like a incondecent bulb, but the circuits driving them do.
minus-square@englislanguagelink4•6 months agoThat’s not exactly true. The LED itself also emits heat. In most cases, this is more than the driver.
minus-square@just2look@lemm.eelinkfedilink3•6 months agoLED bulbs for vehicles also usually have at least a heat sink. Some of them even have a fan or other active cooling.
