the conductive adhesive joint quality is a different animal as  
compare to solder joints - you can't really rely on visual (amount is  
the only thing you can tell).  the quality of the joints could be  
different as your insertion force (tap down instead of drop down -  
tap - light force to insert - will let Ag flake lying flat and make  
more conductive joints)... the selection of material is also a key...  
some has adhesion promoter (polymeric based), that will form a  
polymer rich interface layer if sitting too long before cure... and  
degree of cure is also critical.
As for LED, poorly formed joints exhibit higher resistance joint,  
that in long term, can be harmful to the LED light output (heat sink  
issue).  Being said that, modulation - electrical design got a lot   
to do with it... LED like to be pulsed, rather  than  CC.  the joints  
better be qualified per user application and duration of life time  
(using accelerated test and optical output as quality)  rather than  
visual as like A610.  My 1.5 cents.
