As their efficiencies rise and costs come down, LEDs are finding greater
automotive use. But because of their compact packaging, heat rejection
from the devices, and associated driver circuitry, is a major design
issue.
This How-To article (click)
outlines the most recent advances in LED technology and automotive
applications. The design of an LED headlight is given as an example of
considerations necessary to design for these light sources in the auto
environment.
