This is for a 4x4 room and using 730 nm far red for supplement lighting only to go along 4 or 5 a51 xgs 190.
I found this heat sink http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001A5V1K2/ref=cm_sw_su_dp I guess I can glue leds to flat part on bottom.
What else do I need How many leds? What kinda of driver? Is there a special glue. What gauge wire? I would like to buy everything from same place if possible. I know this is a lot questions, but I've been reading on leds for 2 weeks and there is not a whole lot of data from what I see. Links would be great so I buy exactly what's needed. Thanks
 
Ok....well i dont think that heatsink is very good as it will be in one area.....the way i would go is too 'mirror' the A-51's.

You want a heatsink that is long and skinny (40mm wide x 300 or 400mm long x 10-12 high) That way you can run them down the sides of the A-51's and get better coverage...with me...?

Ok...some links....now i dont think you will be able to get everything in the one place....

Heatsinks and thermal paste/glue and or thermal pads >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> http://www.aliexpress.com/store/126942

Dylan is awesome...he will get you any heatsink you want....good prices too

stars/multichips are probably your best bet..... >>>>>>> http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free...D-620nm-630nm-red-Power-Beads/1460252686.html

talk to these guys....they might do the 730nm.....or search/chat around....

18 gauge wire will be sweet....

depending on how many 730s you plan on putting in...dependz on the driver...
