where to get heatsink?
 

i am thinkin about doing a DIY LED light but unsure of where to get the heatsink from. is there anywhere in canada that i can get it?
i plan to order from rapidled but the sizes of heatsink they have are not really what i am looking for.

Probably your best bet for having the greatest selection is to order from one of the big electronics suppliers. My personal favorites are Newark, Digikey and Mouser.

What size of sink are you looking for? My company gets heat sinks from a number of companies. If you are looking for a good price you will have to go to the states. Don:question:

ya, im finding some but prices are crazy for anything in canada.
im sure ill have to buy out of the US but figured i would see if anyone knew of a decent place in canada with decent prices.

you can make your own with a good table saw and a thick plate of Al.

A while back I purchased my heatsink from the us.

Give them a try for larger pieces they where the cheapest even with shipping.

You can get almost any size heatsink from them for very cheap. Shipping however is pretty expensive considering that you are paying to have a solid chunk of metal mailed to you.

Even with shipping though, it was the cheapest place I could find a heatsink from. They also do custom sizes for a small additional fee.
