(There's not much heat, but heat is LED's enemy). If they used a cheap chip and overdrove it, then durability can be a problem. Especially if the flash was never designed to be on continuously, and thus not heatsinked enough.
I've seen way brighter LED's though (ever seen a 5 watt LED? They're being used now in arrays in car headlights of certain really-new vehicles. Also, some traffic lights are starting to use arrays of 5 watt chips now, though most are using the 1 watt LED chips in arrays.)

would you happen to know the limit by any chance??
