Pardon the ignorance of a newbie: All the Luxeon LEDs (I, III, and K2) state not to connect the slug to either anode or cathode. I'm under the impression that most flashlights use the body as both the negative contact and as a heatsink (which is attached to the slug). Aren't most Lux's slugs epoxied to an aluminum heatsink which is then screwed into the body of the light using the body to pull heat away from the aluminum heatsink and the Lux? If this is the case, isn't the slug and the cathode electrically connected via the body of the light and not isolated?
Or is my understanding completely off?
Thanks.
