Trying to find aluminium extrusion for a custom light fixture. Using 20mm star led boards have 13 3W leds spaced over 800mm±100mm. Anybody got any ideas or sources? Ideally in the UK to keep costs down. Cheers
 
you mean something like this ?

Kinda, not many options for mounting though. Appears to rely on thermal epoxy for mounting. Thanks though

I would look on alibaba or similar for what Scrubber_steve posted and then drill/tap some mounting holes for the LED pucks. You'll still want to use some thermal paste/thermal interface material on the backs of the pucks but the Alu with fins will act as a great heatsink.
