Light Emitting Diode lights need a big chunk of aluminum to be used to mount them on, to absorb and get rid of the heat they produce. See the sticky about LED fixtures, if you can spare the time to go through about 18 pages. I'm currently very interested in that type of lighting, so every light question I see causes me to figure out if and how a LED fixture would work in that application.
