    Which kits? The rapidled kits? And they are probably all 3watt just one puts out more lumens per watt.

    I was told the ultra premiums have better leds but the premium has better optic choices. I just ordered the ultra premium kit a few days ago

    for 24 leds your going to want to space them out more than what a 6x9 heat sink can hold look at heatsinkusa.com they have alot more choices.

    you should try to find a square heat sink for a cube so it gives it a more even spread of light. thats just what I would do
