Thanks for the pics, good info. Price I paid for the heatsinks is about what you paid as well, I don't think I've overpaid. Good to know what else they are used for. I assumed they were specifically designed for the 10 watt LEDs since the eBay sellers I've purchased the LEDs from often list the heatsinks as well and the item description says they're designed for them. I reckon in the interest of economy in manufacturing, many heatsinks are used for different applications, provided the specs meet the required cooling capability and have the necessary footprint & mounting options.
