Review on 🔥 High Performance Aluminium Heatsink for Efficient Cooling by Nate Forleo

I am very disappointed that I received the unit with a factory defect so it cannot be assembled. There doesn't seem to be any quality control, otherwise I don't understand how such a gross error could have gone unnoticed. There are four mounting screws that must be screwed into the four corresponding threads/threaded holes on the front of the cooler housing; Screws are used to attach the lens and LED block to the heatsink. The item I received had holes drilled in the correct locations on the front of the heatsink, but each of the four heatsink screw mounting holes was too large for the supplied mounting screws and therefore the assembly could not be completed. The mounting screws themselves looked like they were a reasonable diameter, thread, and length, and I couldn't find any other sizes of mounting screws in my toolbox that would fit the heatsink holes, so it's possible that the heatsink was drilled /threaded wrong or maybe there is another screw with a slightly larger diameter that should be included. I ordered two units and the first came together as expected, but now when I tried to use the second piece it turned out to be defective and unusable due to poor quality control in the manufacturing/testing/commissioning process. These products seem overpriced for what they are as a cheap extruded heatsink, cheap lens, cheap stamped metal bracket and cheap fan are sold together; The added value is the delivery of a kit that is assembled and ready to use with just a screwdriver, with elements to match the LEDs, the only real adjustments to the blanks being the lens holder mount and drilling/tapping on the surface of the heatsink into the four locations required for mounting bracket . So it's probably worth saving the time/effort to buy rather than make a custom one yourself if you don't have a basic set of aluminum machining tools, but if the units sold don't reliably "just work" in construction , then it's pretty useless and it would be better to just buy a heatsink and fan assembly and mount the LED/lens the normal way. Glad I can say that one of the two devices I bought worked straight away. " No problem as they unfortunately looked pretty much the same, I didn't notice any mechanical thread/screw issues with the second one until I tried it a third time. The units ordered were not faulty when delivered. Including the fan that I received , not particularly quiet when running on a nominal +12V DC input compared to other devices available, so if you're in the same room as the surgical light, fan noise could potentially be an issue.The heatsink isn't particularly thick (to the depth where the fin slots start) so I'm skeptical as to how efficiently it distributes heat as the surface area of the heatsink is significantly larger than an LED device so I think it would run cooler if this would be the case The best heatsink design I haven't measured the hotspot temperature of the device yet, but I can tell that my working G has a heatsink/vent The generator is at least reasonably efficient at dissipating some of the working heat. At an ambient temperature of 25 °C, the temperature of the heatsink gets warm during operation, but with a thermal load of the device of 30 W it does not get hot, and the exhaust air from the fins does not feel much higher than the ambient temperature. Possible improvements I can think of: 1: Put screws in the holes in the bracket and heat as part of the testing/assembly process to give a 100% guarantee that the mechanics can be assembled correctly. 2: Adding an air exchange between the space between the lens and the LED would probably help to trap the hot air escaping via convection and cool the hot spots of the device. - 1 minute operation at 25°C room temperature with a 30W LED to show how efficient the heatsink/fan is in the face; I've had a few of these. 5. The product specs should list the screw length and diameter/type/thread pitch as this would make it easier for me to verify that the heatsink screws or threads/drills are correct. not right. Also, it will be easier for someone to replace the screw if they lose it in the future. and provided a lens diameter/thickness specification compatible with the provided lens holder. 7: Since the heatsink is an extrusion, I don't understand why it isn't possible to have product options installed for 1 LED, 2 3 LEDs, 4 LEDs in series or maybe in a 2x2 grid, 8 LEDs etc side by side in of size on a longer version of the same or similar type of radiator. it would be nice to have a long life fan - I haven't tested the fan yet to see what bearing/drive design it uses). Being with a significantly larger heatsink t the hat is designed to be used without a noisy fan based on forced air cooling.
