Just finished my Lasever 473 build and wanted to show pics...
That's the finished look after I sent the host to Angelos (lazeerer) to have it polished professionally...
It started out as shown below...
I found that these Lasever modules run very stable if using a large heatsink.
These are the PL series modules designed for hand held application. (more expensive vs the other modules they have)
Here's the link to the 26650 host I'm using:
OEM E3 HAIII CREE XM-L U2/T6 LED 1x/2x26650 Flashlight Host Kit with Extension Body_OEM Flashlights_Electronics Wholesale online
For DIY, here's some information on the build: (also showing how I mounted the lens and driver)
* Module - 26mm diameter X 53.5mm from brass to the IR filter
* Driver - 25.5mm diameter X 13.5mm (there is a switch on the driver - it is not a momentary switch. So instead of by-passing it, you can just turn it on, and it does not stick out past the edge of the board if you just remove the blue cap)
* Distance from lens to front of module - .890in.
* Length of brass module without driver or lens - 1.960in.
* Over all length needed for module with lens (not counting the driver mount) - 2.850in.
For this build, there was some modification and machine work needed for mounting the driver into the pill, as well as machine work needed on the head to mount my custom heatsink...
The following pictures show the details of the build...
The driver has a switch that you can just turn on. If you remove the blue button, then it does not stick out past the edge of the board...
I find it hard to get a good picture of the beam with 473...
This is the best I could get but it's over exposed and the picture makes the beam look much 'thicker' than it is. Still pretty decent shot I guess though.
Current / Output:
The driver draws a steady 2.1 Amps from the fully charged 26650 cell...
The stability of the module at this power is awesome!
* Up to 80mW's in 25 seconds.
* At 40 seconds - 120mW's
* At 1 minute - 134mW's
Even after 2 minutes, it was still 125mW's, and it peaked at 154mW's.
Also, the beam is really nice with great divergence...
I'm not selling complete lasers, but I can hook you up with a 'Hot' option if desired. (just connect your module lead wires to the driver lead wires)
You can use the information and measurements shown in this thread to get an idea of how you might make one of these nice modules work for you! :beer:
