I’m trying to get you to stop reducing temperature scale to “anything over 60 °C is hot” because it’s not useful: a clearer distinction should be made between something that regularly causes house fires and something I unscrew while it’s on to put under my blanket when my toes are cold. Human perception of temperature (classic 0-100 °F) just does not allow comparing things an order of magnitude higher (in Kelvin ofc). There’s also more to heat, its effects and how it’s perceived than a single measurement of temperature: thermal mass, conductivity, color (exchange via radiation differs between black and white bodies) etc.
Also, it’s indeed ad hominem but you did choose the username yourself.

So yes, LEDs are hot.

Try so hard to desperately disprove my point, and you fail so catastrophically that you fall into the low hanging trap that is my username.
Congrats for playing yourself.
