What happens if you push a LED beyond its max rated current? For example, I found that I could run a LED at 1.0A (but rated at 700mA). It required a pretty large heatsink, but worked fine during testing (about an hour).
Would the life just be shortened? Would the wavelength drift over time? What are the bad things that could happen that did not show up in the bench test?
