Is this the stuff they put on the threads of the various led torches that are sold, or is it another type of grease, any help would be appreciated, thanks.

If you're talking about the stuff that DX sells ( see this link: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.4579 ) it isn't really a grease. It dries hard but parts glued with it can be broken apart fairly easily. As for its thermal properties, I wouldn't know how to compare it with other thermally conductive products but it does seem to be used by people on cfp as a thermal paste.

There is also this Fujik:

SKU 4593 stays gooey. SKU 4579 solidifies into a firm, rubbery adhesive. I've seen SKU 4579 under LED stars and Cree emitter substrates to provide thermal contact to the typical P60 drop-in brass pill.

I was just after some light grease that I could use on the seals etc, any thoughts on this ?, and thanks for the info so far.

This seems to work well, the syringe is very convenient and the price is right. This is just regular non-hardening grease.

Thanks for that, have saved it on my DE account, so will get some later, thanks again.

For a thread and/or o-ring lube, try The Sandwich Shoppe's Krytox or NyoGel (available from Lighthound).

Nyogel for threads that have to transmit current and volts.

Krytox , which has Teflon, for threads and 'O' rings that need to be super smooth turning.

For a lube, Krytox is very nice.

If you're looking for heat transfer only, AS Ceramique or IC7 work well.
