![]() Thermal Tape is different from Silver Paste though.
Thermal tape is basically double sided tape, used to attach the LEDs to the heatsink, so that you can remove them later if you need to. Silver paste is a thermal paste used between the LED and Heatsink to fill in the gaps between the 2 surfaces for optimal heat transfer. Yes, you should use some sort of thermal paste under the LED when using screws to mount them.
