Most of us have used high power LEDs in our projects. It’s getting quite common to see 1 Amp LEDs used for lighting applications. Even though when you normally think about LEDs you envision something that is cool to the tough these high current models need heat sinking to keep their die temperatures at bay. Our friend Carl from Sweden has been doing some experiments with a super high power LED that normally lives inside a Casio projector, it is knows as the PT54 Phlatlight. How much current does this pull you ask, a whopping 8 plus amps! Yes, this is the same Carl who normally works with lasers, seems like he is branching off into LEDs now…
