Alex...I answered via PM, so we don't hijack FM's thread.

My point in posting was to illustrate the profound influence deep finning can have on the heat from a P7.

I'd opt for a larger diameter head for this project, with deeper fins.

Probably a little more interest now with a slight modification for the new SST-90-W and SST-50-W LED's. (as pointed out by AlexGT)

Bump it UP

I wonder if now that the XM-L's are out will there be more interest, I kind of like the design proposed by Monkeyboy

I think this is a great idea and it's nice to see you making LED hosts. One thing I would say is that the finned body is a little too aggressive and wide for my liking. I'd like maybe 4 or 5 fins at the top of the body that tapers down to a regular C thickness with some custom knurling or other design. This would still provide good heat sinking but make it more comfortable to hold.

This is a photoshop mock-up to illustrate. The ribbed pattern on the body could be left or replaced with something else.
