The e-shine unit, like other similar lights, is just a metal core PCB mounted directly to an aluminum plate, and the fans blow on the other side of the plate. So they are not individually mounted LEDs on stars. Therefore the only real use for them is in the form they are in. Removing them from the housing would only take the weight/form factor of the housing itself out of the equation, and you would still need to cool the aluminum heat sink (if you want to call it that) with fans so why bother.
