    Really debating just thermal expoxy-ing(?) the LEDs to the heatsinks. It'll take me a couple days to drill and tap it... and as it turns out, I'll have to modify some of the JBJ connectors to work with some of the LEDs I have. The soldering part isn't very difficult and would go much faster overall than the JBJ connectors due to not having to drill/tap the holes.

    I will say, cutting square holes in heatsinks sucks. I probably should've just had a machine shop do it.

    Thanks. It makes me miss my 100 mm f/2.8L Macro lens. These were taken with a 35 mm f/1.4L.
