Are Samsung F series 2ft 72 diode strips ok without heatsink?

Hi everyone. I'm so thankful to have run into this site. It's been so incredibly useful. I was planning on buying a bunch of the Samsung strips, specifically the ones with only 72 diodes that are 2ft long. My reasoning is that they have about the same spread of diodes that the qb120 and the qb132 ha...
