Would 8 EB GEN 3 be enough for a 4x4 to flower?diyleduk sells heat sinks, though they may be better suited to Samsung strips.
You would be better running more EB gen 3 or cree J series on aluminium U profile.
You can get that cheap from aluminium warehouse in UK.
If you run more strips you will power them softer and wont need expensive heat sinks.
With the price of EBs or cree J series its worth doing.
Maybe look at @diggs99 build.
I like the cutter.au J series because they are 48v and I think you can run them at 50w on just U profile but the negative is they are from Aus , they used to have a great price break for quantity, they don't seem to have that anymore but it might be worth asking mark. Depends on how big of a light your building.
Aluminium warehouse will also cut your lengths for very little

I’m using the J series from Cutter, 8 strips per fixture running bout 300w. I mixed 4 strips of 3000k 90cri and 4 strips 5000k 80cri with heatsinks from Heatsink USA, Mean Well 320h-48a and I’m impressed on how they’re performing and plants are definitely looking better since I started using my lights. I built 4 fixtures at 2ft x 4ft and all said and done, after buying strips, heatsinks, thermal tape, 80/20 extrusion, hardware, wire, wagos etc, I paid roughly $300 a light and I guarantee they’re better than any light u can buy for $300 , at least I think so lol

I decided on timber cobs, 3vl for a 2x4 tent. I am total newb, but I don't see any other light doing better really. 30 bucks higher electric bill per month to run 24 hrs.
