Not necessarily, especially with Lumintop. Astrolux/Mateminco commonly uses 3v for lights like this, but i feel that Lumintop is as likely to have a 6v or 12v setup.
This is exactly my thought. I have had a lot of excellent modifications and builds with the 50.3 HI and HD shaved dome emitters. I will not be interested in the GT3 mini in 3volt form.
Sorry but no
heat dissipation is measured in Watts.
It doesnt matter how you power your LED
A 3V LED at 2A has the same losses, a 6V LED at 1A has since both use 6W of power of which 3W get converted to heat
That formula is correct yes
But you only reduce the “lost” power in the wires to and from the LED but not the heat produced by the LED itself by doubling the voltage and halving the current
2.) Increasing voltage results in a dual benefit1: Thermal performance (optical output) and LED lifespan increase with a decrease in temperature.
3.) In theory there is a benefit of lower power consumption due to lower thermal loss, however this is offset to varying degree by boost driver circuit inefficiency(I will make a general assumption of 35% efficiency loss in this application).
