where to get heatsinks?

[docb]

I guess I could glue to regular surplus squares sinks, but I like screwed on better.

Anyone seen a place where I can get some small cheap heatsinks, that have two holes drilled or tapped to mount a single LED star?

allelectronics.com has a few small surplus heatsinks, along with cheap CPU coolers, small selection but varying inventory...on occasion it helps

Any cheap heatsink and a cheap tap will do the trick.

also check Digikey.com - it will take some time to sort through what they have, but they have a LOT of heatsinks

I found this website to have a good selection of heat sinks and they are cheap too!

I got a few of the "round" ones and I think they are really cool! lol

ask at the next bigger enterprise / university / school.
Computer dept.
They ALWAYS have some old junk lying around and a Pentium 2 sink is great and wont cost anything.

PS: for using the "sink" in a light, nothing beats a thick sheet of aluminium.
Fins are totally useless here!
Find them at Your local recycle depot.

I have used about a dozen of the bigger "round" ones for LED night lights and little lamps. They are my favorites! It looks like they must have a few if there is a discount for orders over 890 pieces.

Cooler Master, it has space for small driver on the other side (photo shows heatsink with some extra stuff, and heatsink is actually anodized black). See details here
Or bigger one.
