Ok guys, i need some ideas on heatsinks for my light, i will be running 5x citizen 1212's on a 140v-220v driver. I'm in the UK and really struggling to find 1 big Active heatsink for my unit, can i put 2 smaller ones on the sheet of aluminium? The red spots shows where my cobs will be going & black rectangles are the heatsinks but with only 2 heatsinks there will be 1 cob not directly under the heatsink, any idea's guys?
