I would assume you could get something better suited and cheaper from somewhere like heatsinkusa but it wouldnt include a handy dandy handle...

I guess in that case it boggles my mind that no where in the UK makes extruded alumin(i)um.

I am finding it hard to find anything similar to the 5.886" commonly sold on heat sink usa. Ive been trying to find anything similar to what you can get in the US but the only way I can do it is to go alibaba. And even then finding COB's other than Cree available is ridiculous (outside of alibaba). There's no one place that sells it all.

As ive said previously I am looking at adds taxes and VAT Importing to the UK.

I even live opposite an electrical specialist and they can't find half the stuff I need.

Try these guys, I know there have been some UK members who have sourced their heatsinks domestically. Can't remember who they used though.

Is that the equivalent of the 5.886? I forgot how you work out heat sink requirements. Think growmau5 had a video on it. Looks like that's what ill be doing today!

Is there much difference between the flat heat sinks and the pin ones? I was hoping to go passive but have one of my circulation fans blow over it if that makes a difference?
