Hi i need your help

I need to know what heatsink need for working cob citizen 1212 , i have already the drivers, cobs an other components

The cobs i think to work max 40 W
 
I wouldn't push a Citizen 1212 to 40W. They are more suitable to 15W to 20W. if you want good efficiency that is.

I mounted my COBs running at 15W to a standard aluminium bar. Six COBs per bar. Sort of created a COB LED strip. Buying led strips would be easier/better I guess, but if you insist on COBs.
 
I don't have efficiency data, but emailing cobkits it sounded like they were great at 50w and above that is when the efficiency starts to go downhill.

I see in other post people and stores using this cobs 50 W and 40W , you have efficacy table

Yes they are Cobs Citizen Clu048-1212
 
So for that 90 CRI model you get 2.11 umol/J @ 50W. Will be a few % more for the 80 CRI and a few percent extra for the gen 6. Still, with led strips and rectangular boards, people tend to be looking for around 2.5umol/J and up.

There is a sortof backwards benefit to running leds with little heatsinking: you forced to run them soft which means they give more efficiency and also you need more chips for same watts which means better spread.

Have you considered strips instead of COBs or have you bought them already?

Thanks, i prefer the cobs because easier to find and it is cheaper what de Strip, and the result is they are very similar

1 panel 50 W cobs Citizen or Cree it cost me about 30 Euros and 1 panel strip 120 w it cost me about 150 euros

I think your wrong there. But I missed the part where you stated you already have the COBs.

Strips are way cheaper and some can be mounted to simple U aluminium angle.

Anyhow, anything useful here

Possibly all to small?

I know primelight are a uk distro for citizen and two years ago they told me they were stocking heatsinks for all the citi cobs, however they still have not updated the website to reflect this but you could email them and ask.
