LED Heat Calculations
LED Heat Calculations
(OP)
I'm trying to get a good handle on how to estimate the heat created from different LEDs. Not really sure how better to describe the question but it's kind of hard to design a proper heat transfer system when I don't know what's coming in.
I've checked around and haven't found much more than calculations on voltage, current and resistors to use.
Thanks in advance.

You could even adjust for the energy emitted as light (as opposed to heat) by reference to the efficiency. Or leave this added margin as an intentionally-overlooked added safety factor.
