If you wonna grill the LED :laughing:

I still guess aluminum, copper or stainless steel are the best materials for high-power flashlights.

Apparently, carbon fiber can be a superb conductor of heat if done properly. I think there was a thread on this a little while ago. Probably in the materials/mechanical/machining forum, where this thread also belongs btw. :)
