LED DRIVER- HEAT EMISSION

Hi, I want to know whether the source of heat emission in LED lighting system. I want to know whether the heat is emitted from LED or Driver Circuit

  • In my opinion, most of the heat is emitted from LED. That's why  the heat sink of LED bulb is usually very big.

    The heat sources in a driver circuit are usually power FET(switching FET), inductors and IC. The driver will use the metal later in PCB board for heat radiation.
