I know this sounds like another argument waiting to happen, but if you were to use an array of LEDs, would this count as exothermic?

Why couldn´t you just use a small halogen light?

Something came up from tryouts and I wanted to clarify.

I mean technically an LED generates heat but its not very apparent

So do you think that the ES will actually measure to see if it heats up? I mean, light=heat so in that regard they must be exothermic.

I could see some ES being skeptical on how exothermic an LED is... One of the main featues of LEDs is that produce light without very much heat generation.

Totally agreed. Why don't you just buy some incandescent light bulbs - in incandescent bulbs, the light is generated because a wire has heated up, making them definitely fulfill the Exothermic->Light requirement? Digikey sells some with the same form factor as LEDs for $0.63: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/ ... ND/3151432

Yeah, that was my plan, I've already found some ;) ! I was just wondering since that seems to be a valid argument.

Would we have to use light bulbs? Couldn't we use calcium chloride or something?

If the reaction is exothermic, produces light, and won't put you in the hospital, it should be fine.
