Mini Flashlight Type Host for Opto 150mW?

I'm probably getting the Optotronics 150mW from Jack as the 50mW and 100mW I already bought (but no longer have) from him were incredible. But, I would really like to carry it around in a mini LED flashlight type host. Do they exist or do I need to sacrifice a bit of quality and go with the next best thing from o-like or rayfoss? Something like what this guy has:

YouTube - High Powered Blu-Ray Laser Pointer

Can anybody link some hosts that are about that size? It doesn't have to be an actual flashlight like he has as I'm sure he made that himself.

Thanks,
G

I don't know if anyone on LPF has risked cutting apart their Opto 150mW to find out what size module is inside. If you did you could probably get one of jayrob's greet kits, eother the DIY Green or the Mini Green.

And by the way, that host is not home made although the heatsink might be. It's a Husky from Home Depot:

I think someone wass selling heatsinks to them a while back.

I don't know if you will be able to squeeze the module and a battery in this host though, and even if you could it would probably die rather quickly.

All said I would just recommend keeping it in the pen or finding a bigger host.

Yeah your right. I know nothing about opening these things up and evn if I found someone who could, you're right, it's best not to mess with Jack's stuff. I'll make it a future project I guess and a way for me to experiment with the hobby.
