Could he reduce his power by hooking up a Joule Thief circuit (see my post 33)?

Well, I’m guessing that casing is aluminum? That should disperse any heat, maybe? Most casings of LED lights, the 3 x 1w ones with the e27 base, have aluminum casings to deal with the heat. That’s 3 watts vs 50 watts.

3 watts, e27, $6
there are tons of them just like that on ebay, and they all have aluminum casings to deal with the heat.
