If you only order emitters you can opt for the china post for $10. Takes about ten days give or take.Took 2 days for my order to arrive. I love Jerry

WHOOO indeed. Sounds like a good plan. DD9's example is an excellent one to follow.WHOOO first step to a rockin light!
Yea I forgot to put the dimming part in there. I will be hooking them on dimmers. Probably just one pot for all three drivers. So a 33K linear potentiometer will be used. Not sure if I need a lower limit resistor or not but will look into that as well.WHOOO indeed. Sounds like a good plan. DD9's example is an excellent one to follow.
Two small suggestions: think about dimming and if you want to put in a thermal relay, do it during the initial build. As to the latter point, it will be easier to do it at the start and, if you're like me, going back to add something later on often seems to never happen.
I'm with you on that. Changed up my plans too..I'm going with coolers instead now.Well I hit a little bend in the road yesterday. I set up my order from Heatsinkusa and found out my 240$ worth of heatsink is going to cost me 108$ just on shipping. FAAAAAK. THAT'S INSANE! that was for the 5.88 heatsink. Coolers would cost me 165$ Total for 12 of them and could probably get the aluminum rail for under 50$ so total 215 vs 350$ do you guys really think the heatsink is that much better even for the high price difference??
For me, it was worth the extra $$ to have peace of mind that I wouldn't fry my $800 worth of cobs. 100$ shipping sounds high, you can pick economy shipping I think mine was 50$Well I hit a little bend in the road yesterday.

This is what it look like when you pay about $100 for each heat sink including shipping when I buy 5 10"x24" check this video outWell I hit a little bend in the road yesterday.

haha yea I've had to look for a local place after realising the cost of shipping them here was going to be almost the same price as the sinks themselves!Well I hit a little bend in the road yesterday.
