mounting 5050 LEDs on MCPCBs

Anyone ever give that a whirl?

5050 LEDs are the ones with 6 pins, 3 each on opposite sides, that should fit on a star made for an XM-sized LED.

These puppies…

Question is, what about heatsinking? Imagine it should sit pretty cleanly, just held in by the sides vs pads on the bottom, but they’re used for strip-lighting on what barely passes for Cu foil, so…

Worst case, I’ll just throw a few on a generic peecee board (safety in numbers), maybe 3×3, and run them all in parallel. Still, it would be nice to stick ’em on a star, either single or triple.
