What electrical behavior causes 'current hogging' in parallel LEDs?

💡 Explanation

Runaway occurs because the negative temperature coefficient of LEDs decreases resistance with increasing temperature; therefore more current flows preferentially through those LEDs, rather than distributing current evenly and avoiding hotspots with lower current.
