Heat pipes are used in laptop, desktop, GPU heatsinks and coolers. They are also commonly used in oil-pipes thru permafrost. Are they using some interesting long-life LEDs?
- theandrewbailey 11y agoProbably. The heatpipes are either overkill, or these LEDs run very hot (combined 10W+ of heat). Wouldn't the metal frame of the lamp itself sufficiently cool 'normal' LEDs?
- noir_lord 11y agosufficiently cool may not be enough to get the stated life. Like a processor running at 70C vs 35C, 70C is sufficiently cool (it's within spec say at 80C) but heat damage is continuous.
