After about eight years and a similar failure last year, this came as no surprise: It’s a W5W “parking light” in the same fixture as the melty halogen high-beam bulbs (used as daytime running lights at half power), so it gets toasted on those occasions when we drive somewhere. The adhesive holding the LED strip…

A gas-tight joint is a happy joint.

And now for the long-awaited and much anticipated thermal coefficients for the insulated and greased Thermal Core:
-
A cheap mechanical switch works just fine!
-
In an ideal situation, the coefficient wouldn’t change
-
Now we can compute the temperature differences between interesting locations on the Thermal Core.
-
This would be significantly easier if I had a thermocouple with a known-good calibration, but I don’t.
-
The general idea is to put all the thermocouple beads in close proximity so they share the same temperature…
