ABSTRACT:
A thermal control system for a light-emitting diode comprises a thermistor array thermally coupled to a heat sink. The thermistor array may be disposed within a thermal conductive member. A power supply is electrically connected to the thermistor array. A cooling device is electrically connected in series with the power supply and the thermistor array. The thermistor array is between the power supply and the cooling device. A rheostat may further be electrically connected, in series, between the thermistor array and the cooling device.
