I got an LED array that uses 45 watts. See if you can hold that.

What size is it? If it's too hot to hold I doubt the LEDs will
last long.


You really are dense, aren't you? Some LED arrays are built on
an
aluminum heatsink.

If it's too hot for me to hold, the LEDs will also be too hot. If the
heatsink is working, then it won't be too hot for my hand or the LEDs.


Sure its ok. What's that smell? Someone is cooking bacon!

Are you telling me you'd be happy to design an LED light where the LEDs
were hot enough to burn skin? They wouldn't like that temperature.


Are you telling me that your mother had any kids who weren't born
brain dead?


He was probably dropped on his head a lot as an infant.


She kept trying to flush him down the toilet, but the plumber kept
fishing him back out.
