Location of the fan in relation to the fins of the heatsink is everything with heat transfer. Have you ever seen a computer with a heatsink mounted on the CPU and the fan mounted under the motherboard? ;)
 
The heat sink sits above, and collects the heat from the actual LEDs. The fan sucks air up and ducts it over the fins of the heat sinks-the warm air blows out the sides of the units. I am failing to see the problem?

Yea, the fan is on the bottom. :p I have not examined one that close. Maybe I can take apart one of yours. ;) J/K
