What size are the heat sinks and where did you get them from? Are you using any optics for your LEDs. Nice acrylic shields!

Thanks Warren! I'm a totally DIY LED noob did not consider any of that. I thought it was a simple and easy build but it turn out a mess and burn out lots LEDs was going to give up at a point! thank goodness I met some great peeps on mr! I don't think I can get the light going without help. will consider adding on in the future since I've room on the heatsink.
