That's a lot of watts on that footprint. What do you plan for heat management?

Octopart, it will search all the distributers from one spot, no need to search specific sites.

No gripes with chilLED at all, in fact their upcoming version of the QB looks pretty awesome.
But as I said in the opening post I dont really like the board format. Its certainly superior from a manufacturers standpoint but as an end-user building a few lamps, and not really being concerned with a little extra wiring, I like the control over spacing and thermal management of strips a lot more.
In the long run it probably doesnt matter than much but after realizing I can have a high efficiency, 1w emitter evenly distributed over the entire 4x4 with pretty minimal effort, Ive become a bit of a uniformity hound

It appears we have a few players to add to the growing list of options:
This wavy board from fantomdesigns looks awesome and before you start crying foul about design-poaching just remember the world is a cauldron of borrowing.
Edit: to avoid confusion the light pictured below is not a wavy board...it is a nextlight. For the wavy board please follow the link thru the bold text.
Also.....
@OLD MOTHER SATIVA has some 4ft strips and has made a thread about them. He has plans to be offering them for sale in the future so stay tuned.

I also would have preferred a different Atmosphere song.
Damn shitty growers ruining music.
