You live in Europe?
How much is shipping costs by them to USA any idea? I would just create an order and get to the payment page to find out, but it says before you get that far, "create order and add handling costs with obligation to pay" so I'm too worried to click it.

Yes i live in Belgium but i have no idea about the shipping cost to the USA. I guess it will be high, just like if an european customer order something to heatsinkusa.com, i don't think it's the best option. You can't find the same kind of HS at heatsinkusa ?.

Awesome lights @churchhaze! Thanks for sharing man. Have a question for you. The three lights that are connected in series on 3 different heatsinks (Vero Killer), how do you have yours grounded man? Do you have a ground ran to 1 heatsink with jumpers ran to the other 2? Or is that overkill? I was curious how that would work. Thank you.

You should mail them...they speak English and you don't pay vat so maybe it could be an option...just ask them and in 2 days you will know the price!
39$ for 40x6.6x1.4 inches 14 fins...and this size can handle 4 cxb 3590 @1400mA passively and with a 120mm fan @4.5V it is cold!
How much is it for the same profile and size in hsusa?...
And I thought aluminium price was the same almost everywhere...and hsusa MUST sell more hs than tme...so why is it so expensive????
@alesh where do you find the hs this cheap?...you meant local shop or site?
Who use big hs...what kind of job use it?
Is anyone know who use...except us...40 inches long hs?...to cool what?

I only have one of the bigger sinks grounded to be honest, although the plan was to jump the 3 together. After using the design a bit, i can say that attaching the 3 sinks to some kind of rail for structural support would make it significantly safer, or just use 1 really long sink like @REALSTYLES does his. (I think he also uses the 10 inch profile)

Not much... just working a lot and barely have time to take care of my plants! Veg is totally overrun even though I have places to put them... Flowering is overgrown because last vegged plants were vegged for too long!

What's up with you. I see you've got new veg lights.

At least something is cheaper in Europe...
I'm getting HS locally at around $5.5-6/kg.
Price edit
$6.15/kilo at a local store.
Problem is they have only $12 8" x 8" 3/8" thick base and 1.125 thick overall 14 fins 4.3 lbs
$5.32/kilo for a 29" x 8" I found there once and bought it for $42..., but they never have any more.
