Steve,
Metal housings are the only way to go. Inadequate heat sinking is the major killer of LEDs. There are a few plastic bodied LED lights out there but they're usually not run at anywhere near rated power. Those that are have a fairly short life before turning yellow.
Oops ! There I go, giving away trade secrets again.
