Ok, so, since im new here maybe im missing something, but so far my experiments have indicated that with enough metal you can overcome the problem of overheating, so im wondering if there is a reason I am not seeing more custom lights with LEDs attached to enormous hunks of metal and/or more fan implementations? is it just because of a size/weight thing or is there something else to it? My next project is going to be something a little more ambitious, im working on modifying a Maglite 6-D cell unit, I want to use either 4 or 5 Cree XHP35's or one of those new massive Cob bulbs, and I was planning on filling like half the length of the unit with solid metal, probably a combination of copper and aluminum, I have not seen anyone else do anything similar, it always seems like people are trying to keep metal content to a minimum and before I started on this I thought I would see if there was something I was missing.
