LED Lenser HP Review | High Performance Blog

All light bulbs will get hot after long periods of use. But heat is not always a bulbs best friend.  Heat can cause damage and inefficiency if allowed to get hot without any sort of cooling management.  This is true for LED bulbs as well.  LED bulbs will get hot, despite their demure size.  If an LED bulb is allowed to get hot in whatever application it is being used in – LED headlamp, lantern, flashlight, etc. – the lifespan of the bulb will be significantly decreased to the point that it may burn out all together.  There goes that great big promise of a long lasting LED flashlight.  So what do quality LED flashlight makers do to ensure that the LED lights manage their heat so that they will burn brightly and efficiently for the timeframe they say they will?

Well, thermal management is a big issue with LED light bulb and product manufacturers.  Many have different ways to keep their bulbs cool so as to avoid failure.  LED Lenser High Performance torches use special heat sinks to transfer the heat away from their high intensity LED bulbs. This mechanism ensures that every flashlight, torch and headlamp will give off the brightest light possible in the most efficient way possible.
