I've been building my own led fixtures for some years now even a couple liquid cooled units that preformed very well actually, anyways I work in a very nice cnc machine shop with capability to build anything and I come up with some new ideas I think could greatly improve efficiency and overall quality. I've noticed over the years led efficiency is dependent on several factors, temperature, spread, even your driver. I don't necessarily think liquid cooled is gonna be the next big thing but it cannot be overlooked, I'm wanting to try surface mounting diode directly to the heatsink eliminating the mcpcb all together. Like aluminum plate with copper fins that go all the way thru where the thermal pad of the led can be soldered to and flat copper wire for the circuitry. I was also thinking of some benefits of liquid cooling like super thin fixtures for racks or adding thermoelectric coolers for a/c there is so many possibilities. I would like to know what yall would like to see from future lighting fixtures. I'll post pictures of some of my other fixtures later today
