Hey there grizz I love this light.. But I have Been looking at the pics of the the heat sync that you built... Now I have been thinking of doing this myself... I may not know my metals... But I have been around a computer for a few years... Fryed a lot of chips over overclocking CPUs due to overheating.. Now I'm looking your heat sync and there is only 8 spot welds on them.. That's really the only place that is bonded... And may cause hot spots and kill LEDs in certain places... Just my thoughts..I was just taught that the reasons heat syncs are one solid piece is to eliminate hot spots.. Now can aluminum absorb and disburse the heat as fast as them nice hot LEDs can produce it?? How hot dose it run??
