Show me a single LED that consumed 180 watts by itself and I think it, the

100 watt LED gets VERY hot, very quickly.


So does a 60 watt incandescent blub. LEDs with equivalent light output
of common home incandescent lights do not.


Not surprising considering an A19 60W equiv LED consumes 8 - 9.5W and produces
no IR.
