Hi,
i just bought a 3W white led(max current <700mA).i have 5V regulator which supplies a max. 440mA of current.i connected the led to it and the led lit,but it started heating up,even with the sink(aluminum plate).i couldnt hold it for long and the temperature kept rising.earlier i burnt another of 1 watt.so i need to know if the temp.can rise that much.
