LED Lamp Notes 5" 12vdc Strip As As Sold On eBay

Data speaks for itself. The vulnerability of LED even silicon carbide type should always be figured. A single new 10 watt ("12-volt") CREE chip running at max spec milliamps overheated a spiral 10-watt rated LED heat-sink*. Solution here is a fan or larger heat sink.

All new LED auto headlamp modules include a larger heatsink AND a fan. An internal fan. I have not come across an ad that happens to mention this "little" fact...
