Question

Which parts of LED bulb needs to stay cool as well as which part must transfer energy away from the diode???

Answer 1

Answer:

every method of removing heat from LED's should be considered. Conduction, convection, and radiation are the three means of heat transfer. Typically, LED's are encapsulated in a transparent resin, which is a poor thermal conductor. Nearly all heat produced is conducted through the back side of the chip. Heat is generated from the PN junction by electrical energy that was not converted to useful light, and conducted to outside ambiance through a long path, from junction to solder point, solder point to board, and board to the heat sink and then to the atmosphere. A typical LED side view and its thermal model are shown in the figures.
