I've always wondered if these or fuses were a better option for LED builds..
Well a thermal switch protects the circuit from too much heat (cooling failure)
A fuse protects from too much current .. (probably only applicable for parallel builds in certain configurations.. I have a parallel build that even if it tries to feed all the juice to one of the LEDs it's still well under max rating for the cooling so no biggie)...

So maybe use both, depending on your setup?
