Probably. The heatpipes are either overkill, or these LEDs run very hot (combined 10W+ of heat). Wouldn't the metal frame of the lamp itself sufficiently cool 'normal' LEDs?

sufficiently cool may not be enough to get the stated life.

Like a processor running at 70C vs 35C, 70C is sufficiently cool (it's within spec say at 80C) but heat damage is continuous.
