Attaching LEDs to the Heatsink

The heatsink has many little holes in it. Two little holes are used to secure 1 LED to the heatsink

– one at each end of each LED.

We need to apply thermal grease to the back of each LED and then attach it to the heatsink.

Thermal grease ensures proper thermal conductivity of heat away from the LED into the heatsink. A

very small dab of grease on the back of each LED is all that is necessary. More is NOT necessarily better.

Too little will lower conductivity and too much will create a mess. A thin layer works best. The photo

below is about how much you should use.

After the thermal grease has been applied to the star, screw it into the heatsink with two little

screws, adjusting the height of the two fastening screws to center the LED between them. Once again,

do not over tighten. The screws should be snug but not tight. When screwing down the LEDs, ensure

the screw is not touching any solder or solder pads. This will ground the string at that point and cause

strange behavior and possibly, damage.
