Good prices for EU
Also primelight.co.uk sell in trays of 20 for similar price but when I spoke to them said they can probably do low numbers for slightly higher price. They also sell heat sinks for them too. Only sell citizens though.

Do you know how much the heat sinks cost?

Just had to check my emails from last year. They say Minimum order 27 pieces but can support less at a premium. The price I got was for series 5 citizens, was £7.95 each (MODULED 9950) but I suspect they are fro clu 048 1212s rather than the 058s I got. I ended up getting distracted and never followed up, partly because I already had heat sinks coming from kingbrite and had bought my clu 058s from northerngrowlights. I will eventually get back to them when I build another light, as you know good heat sinks are hard to find for a reasonable price in UK.
They sell Mechatronix heat sinks btw, its been a while and they still don't have them on website, they did say they were waiting for new web site to be developed so maybe soon.

In case your interested these were the prices for the clu 048
CLU048-1212c4-353M2K1 £9.76 each

CLU048-1812C4-353M2K1 £13.48 each

CLU048-1818C4-353M2K1 £18.89 each

The clu 058 1825s were £31 each.

doesn't beat the Estonians prices but brings a few more options to the table.

Like I say I didn't end up ordering but if anyone does I strongly suggest double checking the heat sinks capabilities at whatever mA with folks on here, hate to see someone order something not up to the job.

Thanks for the info bro, I'm all built out personally, but got a couple of mates who are interested.

the prices are ridiculous high at this shop, just wow
I bought from pro-emit (2x200W) and I am pretty happy. Really solid build and an instruction like from lego - never saw that so detailed and well made before!
I got one of the best DIY kits out there I think - worth every euro.

just my 2 cents
