Not a laser, but a lot of power input in this build.
The PT54 LED is from our favorite C_s_o Projector.
It is rated @ 8 amps, but in a handheld host that is too much.
I decided to operate @ 3 amps, for a total input of 12 watts.
The first requirement was cutting the solid copper base to fit the pill inner diameter of 22mm.
After cutting and rounding the corners and final deburring it was ready for an insulator and the pill. This was the final result:
The next step was placing the reflector to capture all the Red light from the Flat LED.
Here is the reflector placement:
Finally a quick beam shot from about 6 feet away:
The intense red center was about 2 feet in diameter.
This is the host with finned heatsink, I used for this light:
I finished this build for the DFW Laser & Flashlight Spring Fling meeting,
coming up this weekend in Arlington.

My new 12X BR (BDR-S06J) in the same host will also be shown.
