RE: garage LED lighting project
The runtime on high is about 15 to 20 minutes. The front of the bulb gets very hot while the back stays comparatively cool. The bezel doesn't melt but it does start to smell strongly like plastic and rubber and is on the verge of plasticizing after about 8 minutes or so on high. The bulb life is probably only a dozen hours or so because the bulb is overvolted, so when it comes time to change the bulb I will put a silicone O-ring between the bulb and the bezel. This should eliminate any worry of melting plastic, as the bulb will not be in direct contact with any.

Most of my information on lighting comes from candle power forums, or at least stems from there initially. Lighting does get complicated when you start to get into optics and the electronics. Also the manufacturing aspects of a given design require plenty of consideration....
