The EvoSpot is a new PAR38 LED spotlight from Reefkoi’s Evolution LEDs which packs a little something extra. Not only do the twelve one watt LEDs have a susbtantial heatsink for thermal management to keep cool, there’s also a tiny little fan mounted up inside to keep the circuitry and diodes running cool. The EvoSpot currently comes in a “20K” which uses four white LEDs and eight blue LEDs with an emission peak at 460nm and a 14K flavor with a balance of whites and blues.

The size of the lamp and its heatisnk is a little bit small for the amount of power it delivers which is why that internal fan is so critical in keeping down the heat while also incereasing the output and life of the LEDs themselves. This bit of thermal trickery is not the kind you’d expect from Evolution LED, more likely from pricier Japanese lamps from Ledio, but we’ll take the added longevity to the LED light product especially at a cool price of only $59. The EvoSpot 20K PAR38 lamp is already available from Reefkoi, as are a ton more pictures of the EvoSpot after the break.

    I would need a better photo, but those photos make the soldering job on these look very sloppy. Thats not good when it comes to reliability… some of those joints look cold soldered which will cause problems with such a high power application.

    Why do you need such a HUGE heatsink with fan on only 12x 1w bulbs? Overkill and bumped up production cost IMHO.

    I think this has been described a PAR38 in error. It’s far too small in diameter for that. But, given its size, it’s a very appropriate heatsink for 12W worth of LEDs. 99% of these lamps are based off of general lighting products, that have to live in fixtures that have little to no air movement, so a good heatsink like this is critical. This is by no means overkill. Don’t take the fan into consideration for cooling potential, as it won’t affect heatsink temperatures much, if at all.
