(Another) DIY LED Build - Linear Design

[SWF]

Hi Cesar and All,

Hope you are doing good ! been a long time that i bugged you...

was busy with work and could not prgress with my build.
I have my LED's with me now and also have the heat sink.
I ma planning to kick start my led build...

I had a question in mind .. my heat sink has a lot of scratches and its not very clean..
I was thinking if it would be good to anodize the aluminium heatsink

Is it advisable to anodize the heatsinks ?

Regards,
SWF

Anodization will have very little if any effect at all on the cooling capabilities of your heat sink. But if it is durty it needs to be cleaned to almost spotless before anodization. Other wise the anodization will emphisize any flaws and scratches.

Hi Dennis,

Thank you for your response. I will make sure the heat sinks and cleaned before
it gets anodized.
