72" heatsinks and 16 LEDs on each with no optics. I have 60" heatsinks and only 12 LEDs on each with no optics. Works well. Any more LEDs and they will run too hot and you'll need a fan. I'm assuming 3 watt crees.

Unfortunately 16 leds is a little hard to do as a single ELN driver won't power that many. I've been researching DIY LED for a bit now and if you look at the long heatsinks at Rapidled....you should be okay for a few more LED's per row.
