Zusammenfassung:LEDs are known to be efficient and are favorites among designers for being tiny. But they're only really "tiny" as long as heat management isn't involved. While incandescent light sources work with temperatures up to 2500'C, LEDs are much colder. Thus, many designers ultimately realize that heat is such an issue. Being relatively cold, LEDs still do produce heat, which isn't yet a problem.
