take a 1/4" copper tube cut it to 2 " pices and get 2.5"screws and your done.....
buy the Kingbrite..........im tihinking of kingbrite or #MarsLED
ya if your going to buy the stuff just get some pipe allready cut...... I said copper cause I have it and it would look Good and work great.......Okay I will get the readings today. Ima have to grab my temp gun from a friend cannot find mine of course. I will post readings by mid afternoon for sure. Also stand off good idea I thought about that...will pvc be safe or can it get to hot maybe go copper or metal...and the whole reason of standing it off is to keep the heat from transferring to heat sink right? Can’t believe they aren’t designed like this by standard be it kingbrite or HLG.
PVC won't melt under normal working temps. You'll be fine. There's so many other materials though. I mentioned the pvc and the washers ... BigCube mentioned copper tube. My point in my suggestion was for you to hopefully find something you already have laying around that would be suitable to the task. Many things will work. You'll have to decide what works best for you ...Okay I will get the readings today. Ima have to grab my temp gun from a friend cannot find mine of course.

@basscaptain that sounds like a plan ill get some 1/4 copper cut up and put them under the drive and thread the screw through. What size are those bolts that go into the driver 1/4" I feel like they are even smaller? So at 100% the driver and heatsink will be hot to touch no matter what then correct? But with standoffs move some of the heat from the driver off the heat sink ya?
Mine get hot I wouldn't use PVC MiG....at alll
Gotcha thanks maybe also I like the double nut and longer screw idea then dont have to cut copper but then wont be able to get desired height as precise lol
That's exactly what I was trying to explain ...Hold on
This is what I would do...
If you use washers, the bolt/screw won't pull through. Also, you're guaranteed that your bolt won't slide and get the nut caught in the fins of the heatsink and will help hold the bolt square to the surface of the heatsink. And from an engineering stand-point, using washers would be the correct way to do this. LOLI like that! and on the bottom of heatsink there is another washer im assuming to keep the screw from coming out.
