The surface of your heatsink should been scratch free!!! I hope you have used plenty of heatsink thermal paste between your LEDs and heatsink itself. How you going to fire them up which means power supply, buckpuck etc? Any dimmimg????

 

[jerl77]

thats not the heat sink just mounting plate yes they are going to be dimmed and yes a power supply is going to fire them 24 volts 6.6 amps
