This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I was gonna say the led bulbs I’ve had exposure to get extremely hot. Might have baked the paint

Traces seem ok, maybe wicking enough heat away?

The traces can probably sustain higher heat than that paint. Besides, the hottest part is generally the LEDs themselves.
