I just put on order two cool white surface mount Nichia Jupiter series LED's. However I have never seen one run. Just by looking at the specs sheet I was impressed and can't wait to power them up, but I was wondering how enthusiastic I should be??



And another question about heat dissipation...



I think I saw in there drawing a small heat sink on one edge of the LED, will that provide substantial heat dissipation if I want to run the LED suspended in the air?

That exposed portion of the heat sink slug can be used for clamping or SMD mounting but you will need this LED mounted on a larger heat sink if you want to run the LED at anywhere near specified power!
