Does the thermal tape work as well as the silver paste?
The people that have been mounting with screws...is there paste used in these applications?

Thermal Tape is different from Silver Paste though.
Thermal tape is basically double sided tape, used to attach the LEDs to the heatsink, so that you can remove them later if you need to. Silver paste is a thermal paste used between the LED and Heatsink to fill in the gaps between the 2 surfaces for optimal heat transfer. Yes, you should use some sort of thermal paste under the LED when using screws to mount them. Quote:

I like the colour i've adjusted them to now. It's kind of hard to say it's 1:1, as the whites can handle more voltage than the blues. Right now my blues are at about 800mA and the whites are around 1000-1100mA.
This fixture is on my frag tank, so I set it for a bit more white than blue, for better growth. Quote:
