[The Blood Club] 1.1W Oclaro Weapon (HL63193MG)

I always wanted to build a nightstick laser since I seen them first come out. Like the sAik series builds, I will have some of these coming down the pike, but here is the first.:eg:


The new Oclaro diode I feel is slight upgrade above the Mit. 500mW... for one it's a little cleaner as far as background aberrations and for another it's a closed can.:wave: I can't say for sure, but I'm running mine at 1.6A and it seems to handle it well:eg::eg::eg: (heat output). I have a Mit. 500 in a big boy build and at over 1W and 1.5A that puts out a whole lotto heat . These where just observations not so scientific.


I used a moon shaped copper pad and some arctic ceramic adhesive to hold it all together. One of those sweet X-Drive CG set @1.6A:wave:


Then I used the lathe to cut a groove on the inside battery tube to move the contact board up enough to get 2 22500 batteries in there.


I thought about if I ever had to use this as a weapon and YES! I sure would. To a Flash blind and then a good knock. I don't make that statement lightly and would never take a life unless felt threatened to do so:bowdown:


Laseerer 635nm X-Lens :wave::can:


I took the readings using a 9mm lens... the X-lens lent to only 750mW and the 9mm took it up to 1.1W I will get a red G-2 when I can I'm betting that will really push up the output.:bowdown::bowdown:


The X-lens cuts all that splash right out. It really tames all the artifacts, but at the cost of some significant power.:undecided:


Well the thing weighs like a brick. I think it balanced pretty good though another top shelve build the host only ran me 16.00US from fleabay. I can say I love it so far and will be using another one for a build down the road:thanks:

As usual get out there and build one give me a shout out if you have any questions just ask:beer:

WOW big heat sink
these could be very valuable 'tools' for law enforcement or security- non lethal- and if focuable able to hinder the eyesight of more than on person- great for pointing out things or signaling others or making it easy to see where you are--

I am passing a link to this to a law enforcement guy who asked me about a laser like this-

AND those guys are accustomed to paying a higher price for an item like this--
its not a toy or for 'fun' its a tool that could save lives-- and a big improvement of the 'old school' tool ===a long ass Mag light-- or wood nightstick--

+5 for jander- and GL with these-- have you given thought to making one inside a collapsible baton??

These are laser 'dazzlers' with an extra function-- nice~!!

Thanks Len,

I could imagine that with the right lens, set of lenses, for it to be a sweet dazzler... I will update with some better pics and after some more testing, I might even up the current. I'm definitely going to get a red-g2 for it.... the X-lens is a sweet single element lens for taming, but you sacrifice some serious powa.

Nice loooong nightstick laser you've got there! Bet nobody messes with you while you've got that monster with you!
In your 1st pic, it looks like you're showing us your new telescope. Just how long is that thing anyway?
:gj: nice build.

Great work. Looks like you put that diode to good use.:beer:

I didn't appreciate the size of this monster until I saw the picture of you holding it in your hand. It's definitely something else.

Very impressive.

Thanks for the kind words fellas I really like this host it has a good balance and feels real solid. I will update this thread when I get a "red G2" and get some numbers

Beautiful build!

I'm thinking of building an oclaro in the next few weeks.. Not as big as this though!!

Subbing for when you get that g2!

Cool idea and build!

Cheers,

Awesome build Jander! :beer:

Pretty cool I would be more concerned with a laser hit in the eye than a bonk lol.
Understand the reasoning behind the diode choice. Looks like you are pushing the Oclaro already to the edge according to DTRs graph unless you have some freak diode there Think I would be too edgy about it blowing everytime I turned it on.
+REP. Always like to see something new.
Is a "billy" club just like that only shorter? I think you need a small sequel unless you already have one

It has a little brother.

How is it turned on? Can't really see an end button or side switch. How is it being held in place so it doesn't slide out?

:worthy:

This is definitely one of the best looking lasers I've seen in a while! Excellent work!

Well, can you mixed it with stun gun. You could make it 3 in 1 defence weapon. A dazzler, a stun gun, and a smashing batton.
