DIY Sheet Pan LED assembly

Ive seen lights made from a lot of different materials on here. I think this is probably one of the most versatile, user friendly, and cheap ways to construct light assemblies. The sheet pans can be ordered perforated like I used or as solid aluminum. It gives you a ton of surface area both on top and underneath for mounting. I used small self tapping sheet metal screws and standard drywall screws for all the mounting. Make sure the one you order has a steel rod in the rolled edge to prevent warping. They cost about $8 for half size 18"x13" or about $14 for full size at 18"x26". The one I built is a full size perforated pan bought off Amazon for $13 and shipped free. Its a total of 5 CXA3070s with MeanWell LCP 60 1400s. Nothing else really unique on the build, all standard stuff that has been listed on here in other threads.

Check the imgur url in the post, its start to finish. The holes in the perforated pan are plenty big for 18ga wire.

How so? Thermal paste between the cob and the heatsink, with the unit on for almost 2 hours now the heatsink plate they are attached to is barely warm to the touch and the Cree temp spot measures 112 degrees farenheit. My CXA2520 are mounted to the same style and passively cooled no issues. They're running .7a on recoms. I keep room temp at 68 degrees.
