I got away with using 3 strips (x2 @ 12v) in one of my 3D printed lithophane pictures in a frame. But now I'm trying to use 5 for a more even display. I'm running into an issue of them heating up the enclosure so much that the back is getting soft. Vent holes are not enough to combat this issue. I found that 1/16" thick teflon worked pretty well at diffusing the sharpness of each LED. I've tried to elevate the LED's but that looks really bad when it's that close to the image.
So my question is there a colder way of illuminating the picture without having to install a cooling fan? And not breaking the bank.
