I have found this craftsman 2D cell all aluminum focusable flashlight which has a great thermal path from everled to flashlight body. Let me illustrate with pictures: First pic is of the light with head removed:
Next up is a picture showing the bottom of the bulb retainer. Notice how nicely the EverLED's flange mates up with the solid aluminum bulb retainer, which threads right to the flashlight body. Ingenious design, almost as if they intended it for PR based Luxeon bulbs!
And finally, a pair of beam shots, the first one shot at 25 foot range to my foundation wall at tightest focus, the second showing the focus opened up approx 75% at a distance of 12 feet from the wall>
I hope that this is informative for those of you concerned about thermal issues with the ForeverLED. Incidentally, the light was run for a little over an hour, and the bulb was cool to the touch. That's more than I can say for the plastic lights I've tried, Including, but not limited to the Tec 20, Tec 40, and the Dorcy Boss 4AA. The EverLED got too warm for my taste in those plastic lights. (By touchy feely only, no temp instruments avail.)
