I guess you have to chose between either hand soldering or heat sink. Nicklas : That would defeat the point of using holes (vias really) and pads to heat sink the LED. What you want to do is have tons of vias and peel back the mask to expose more copper to remove the most heat possible. To solder the part pre-heat the board ether in an oven or with a heatgun. -- Home http://evanfoss.googlepages.com/ Work http://forge.abcd.harvard.edu/gf/project/epl_engineering/wiki/
