Thank you and I'm not sure I'm thinking around 65ft. Thing is like 100lbs but I Found the aluminum for $18 per 25ft stick at my local metal store

Because he doesn't stock anymore, man. It's not worth it for him. Digi-Key, Mouser, or Arrow I'm certain will have you covered.And always out of stock on any diode that is decent

Why are all of your COBs mounted so off center on every heatsink?

Bc the are mounted to 140mm cxb3590 heatsinks I got on sale. Had to waller out the cob holders a lil but they work fine.

I'm running gen4 cxm22 on on heatsinks predrilled for a bigger cob chip. I just figured out how to mount them without having to re tap all of them.

The heatsinks where about half the price and bigger plan was to drill and tap but wallering out the screw holes on the cob holders was way easier. But next time I'll just get one properly pre drilled and tapped

People want to see cobs attached to pin sinks, drivers with with pots and plugs already wired. The people should be able to choose 200 watt 4 cob kit and 5 cob 250 watt kit. The world should be where one would only have to purchase their way of making their frame. Just like timber does.

Then you would be paying timber prices. i got almost an extra 1000watts doing it all myself.
