Ultimate flashlight material - Rhodium?

[easilyled]

Expense and machining costs aside, wouldn't Rhodium be the ultimate flashlight material?

It has good thermal conductance (more than half that of Al.) and has excellent electrical conductance,
hence one of its applications being electrical contacts.

Furthermore it is highly corrosion-resistant, does not form an oxide layer and is also extremely strong, much more so than Ti.

Just don't look at the price. :mecry:

what about diamond?

 

[I came to the light...]

It also weighs quite a bit more than even steel, and the conductivity could be a bit of a problem.

what about diamond?

I don't think that conducts very well either :thinking: That's not to say I'd turn down a diamond flashlight

hmm... diamond heatsink, platinum for conductivity
