If you're going for the best possible LED lamp, irrespective of cost, I can't think of a better cooling method.
- masklinn 8y ago> It's novel for an LED lamp, though. Kinda? It already exists, but usually to better spread heat to the sink in high-power LED lamps (50W+, not equivalent, actual). And my point is outlining that it's "satellite technology" is complete bullshit marketing copy. I would expect more or less every laptop with fans[0] to use heatpipes, even for gaming / workstation laptops it hasn't made sense to stick a radiator on the CPU/GPU in a long time. [0] apparently fanless devices don't, I guess there wouldn't be enough of a heat differential between the CPU and a hypothetical heatspreader for it to work?

Actually, I have a friend who works at a company which designs extreme heat pipes and heat wicks for satellite applications. He has a satellite-spec heat pipe specimen which he shows around with heat-sensitive paint to demonstrate heat transfer speed, and it's way faster than conventional heat pipes. It's almost instant. Don't know the secret sauce though.
