Hi
Been working on this one for a while, many changes were made to final build,
Originally was going to use Blackbuck 8 but its pot was a little to tall and couldn't fit anywhere else so had to scrap adjustable and go with SXD, I decided on 2.2a I realise this is a little high for this diode but the usual 1.8a seemed boring at the time, I latter decided to even out the weight of the bottom end with a custom brass focus nob, really glad I did It just looks marvellous, A small angel eye with wite led just looks awesome and my usual stainless steel safety switch machined to fit the brass end cap like a glove,
With this diode there is no better option then a 2 element glass AR coated lens, the beam can be focused to a very decent looking dot with little to no splash,
A quick LPM showed 700mw but the IMRs I'm using have not been recharged for a long time.
Well that's all for now here's some pics, Enjoy!
