Does anyone know if I can run these strips without heatsinks?

Bridgelux Gen. 2 BXEB-L1120Z 4′ LED Strip Build – 5’x5′
Parts list:
18x BXEB-L1120Z 4′ Strips ($253)
1x Mean Well HLG-480H-42B Driver ($115)
1x Mean Well HLG-240H-42B Driver ($64)
1x 50K Ohm Potentiometer for Dimming ($7) Note – wire driver dim leads in parallel to potentiometer for simultaneous dimming of both drivers. Pot must be 50K ohm.
1x Resistor for Potentiometer ($6) Note- resistor is only required if your potentiometer measures less than its rated resistance. Use a resistor in series to bring the pot up to its rated resistance.
~72 Feet of 1″ Heat Sink ($144) Note – this length is an estimate only… make sure to measure your space so your heat sinks are cut short enough that they’ll fit.
~25 Feet of 3/4″ x 3/4″ x 1/8″ thick Angle Aluminum for Frame ($60) Note – this length is an estimate only… make sure to measure your space to properly size your frame.
2x Rolls of Thermal Tape, 30mm x 25m ($32)
1x LLT L20 Waterproof Power Connector for Driver AC Connection ($10)
Hookup wire cut to whatever length you need ($10) Note – I use 18 gauge to connect my wagos to my strips. I use minimum 14 gauge for wago-to-wago connections.
14x 5-Conductor Wagos ($20)
1x 6-Pack of Ratcheting Hangers ($19)
Total Price Estimate (USD) = $740 + Shipping
System Specs:
Type: C.V./Parallel
Diode Count: 4,032
System Voltage: 39.2V
System Current: 17,100mA (11,400mA on the 480H-42B + 5,700mA on the 240H-42B)
System Power: 670.2W
Lumen Estimate (3000K): 116,928
Efficacy: 174 lm/W
