Ok the whole incandescent vs LED thing here has been done over time and time again, however, this question is from a little bit different of a perspective.
What is more likely to fail in extreme conditions, the best incandescent lamps or the best LED's? Now when I say extreme conditions, I am specifically referring to extreme cold and extreme heat, although I am more interested to hear opinions on the cold and freezing temperatures side of it becasue I know LED's are much more fragile to heat than incandescent lamps are.
Please, the purpose of this thread isn't which source of light has better color rendition, is more efficient, is brighter, throws better, which is more shock proof, etc, none of the typical arguments.
I want to know, generally speaking, what's theoretically more prone to failure in extreme heat and cold, the best incandescent lamps, more referring to surefire's lamp assembly's, or the very best LED's and their electronics, more referring to one's like Malkoff and Nailbender's?
Your thoughts please.
