temp for led

What do people use to check the led heatsink temp? Do you just use the standard probe and put it touching the heatsink or between the fins? I was wondering if there might be a temp probe like a flat tape that I could attach to the flat side of the heatsink next to one of the led stars? Thanks for any ideas.

i just used a little hi temp epoxy and glued the probe right to the heatsink near a star, works great.
