Looking for a heatsink for 12 LED, I have a 6x11 available. Is there a splash grd for 4" wide heatsink?

At this time we only stock Splash Guards for our custom 12"x8.46", 18"x8.46" and 24"x8.46" Drilled and Tapped Heatsinks.

What lengths do you carry in 4" wide drilled & tapped? Need at least 10" long (12 led)

My apologies.

We found the 4" wide limited on thermal management for most reef applications and do not offer a drilled and tapped version.

That said www.heatsinkusa.com has them and a 3/32 drill with our #4 self tapping screws will work with well with the BJB solderless connectors.

So do you recomend a 6" wide heatsink for 14 led?. Can this be done without a fan?

The Fan is highly recommended as it dramatically cools the heatsink and the cooler your LEDs are the longer they will last.
