But they have no mounting pad, so I have to mount them with thermal glue.  This glue comes in two small syringes and hardens in 5 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The combination works quite well.  I use one of these as a room light, shining up at the ceiling while the TV is on.  I plan on connecting 6 of these in series and to a 20 VDC wall wart AC adapter and possibly a dimmer.  They will be mounted to the wall close to and facing the ceiling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got a bag of these heat sinks from a Chinese seller.&nbsp; They come with twenty fins and four mounting holes, two tapped for metric screws, which were included.&nbsp; They were meant to mount a Star LED to the heat sink.&nbsp; However, since I used thermal glue to mount the LED, I decided to face<a href=\"https:\/\/rustybolt.info\/wordpress\/?p=10665\"> <\/p>\n<p> (Read More&#8230;)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rustybolt.info\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10665","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rustybolt.info\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rustybolt.info\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rustybolt.info\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rustybolt.info\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10665"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/rustybolt.info\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10665\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10669,"href":"https:\/\/rustybolt.info\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10665\/revisions\/10669"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rustybolt.info\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10665"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rustybolt.info\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10665"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rustybolt.info\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10665"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
