    I believe www.ledsupply.com sells heat sinks for individual stars. Its been awhile since I've been on their site though.

    Looks like they do. Thanks for the link insanespain. I'll do a bit of looking around and see what's what.

    Lol no kidding. I would use lamp cord for the wire and just let the led and heat sink hang off of that.

    Yeah it wouldn't be cheap, that's for sure. Not to mention I'd probably have to commission someone to make the top plane, wall mount etc....

    I was just about to mention the single LED heatsink from Rapid LED...guess you beat me to it. This is a great idea. It hould be interesting to see what you come up with, exactly.
