How can I electrically isolate a PCB from a heat sink?

I have a set of LED driving lights for motorcycle that must be wired through a ground-leg pulse width modulation dimmer. The problem is the mounting bracket for the lights is grounded, so the lamp shorts to ground through the motorcycle chassis and the PWM dimmer cant dim the lamps. How do I handle this problem?

Use Kapton tape
Use Sil-pad and shoulder washer. If you use a sil-pad the screw will still electrically connect the componet tab with the heat sink, soashoulder washer should be used to isolate the screw and the tab.

Does each process have its own PCB or there is just one?

To my understanding, each process in the operating system contains its own separate Process Control Block. Can someone explain this to me. Does each process have its own PCB or is there just one PCB that contains all the information for all the processes?

How do surface mount components withstand heat of reflow while through hole components can not?

Some online tutorials about soldering TH components, like transistors and ICs, are delicate components and can be easily damaged by heat. When it comes to soldering surface mount IC and components, some prefer to use a reflow oven which heats up the them to a temperature above the melting point of solder. So why?
