      Thank you for the over pedantry. We’re well aware that heat is generated, but we’re talking an order of magnitude in difference, nearly.

        Yeah, I can’t touch a 100w incadescent bulb that’s been on for an hour, but an equivalent LED bulb could be on for days and I still can touch it without issues.

          To anyone who doesn’t know, a 100w “equivalent” is not the same thing as a 100w diode.

          I think the led equivalent on the last 100w replacement I bought was 3w?

          I have a 10w led that I rigged up to light my entire back yard at night.
