Rep Power: 241   |  The "Elder Beam" - DIY 635nm 500mW (Ancient Light's Twin)
This was built as the RED follow-up to the BLUE "Ancient Light" build here. The "Elder Beam" is another antique torch conversion, with a few new innovations relative to it's younger (older?) brother.  - Mitsubishi 635 @ ~500mW. - Giant heatsink, tapered, and polished. - Uses the Mosquito RED 1A single cell driver. - Original antique dual clicky - momentary and on/off. Here's where it gets neat  - Built in lithium ion cell, with charging port inside the rear tailcap. - Integrated voltmeter triggers when the beam is active, shows the cell's voltage to indicate whether charging is required.

A real old fashion clicky. They are a pain in ass to adjust if the metals inside are bend. I have also an old metal flashlight for 1 AA battery. I have to find it first in boxes at the attic. Maybe suitable for a laser.

Can you modify an existing flashlightstyle laser to take a charber jack and run off of that instead of batteries. Love the build!  |
