Which risk increases when high-power light emitting diodes (LEDs) experience thermal runaway?

💡 Explanation

Increased temperature in LEDs causes a drastic reduction of the band gap, leading to more electron-hole pairs. This positive feedback accelerates thermal runaway because increased current flow further elevates temperature, and therefore reduces desired light emission, rather than promoting efficiency.
