Message: [QUOTE="retrosolutions, post: 383296, member: 1688"] The only thing we can speculate at this point is that a crappy contact can mean poor voltage and then the higher the current draw. The one thing these bulbs do not have is temperature controls, so if they pull more current to operate, they do get really hot, quickly. The irony we've found in such instances is instead of the LED failing from the heat as one would expect... the components on the driver literally desolder. That is likely what you are hearing a rattle from, a component that desoldered under the heat. That's roughly 260 degrees or so, kinda puts the heat generating in there as a result into perspective. Question for you is, how long would you typically leave them on for when using them? If you tend to run them long periods of time, we may have a better option for you that can be custom tailored to avoid heat issues. [/QUOTE]
