New host!

Ok so first a quick disclaimer. My idea is not completely unique.

I know you've all seen Kipkays "cheapy lighter laser" and I know what the forum thinks of him and his practices in general.

This was admittedly inspired by that infamous youtube clip.

I use safety goggles and will not be shining this anywhere near my face or others.

I liked the concept and wanted to see if I could build one of my own design.

It is running a lpc-815 at 420ma driven by a Modwerx driver
and is running on two a23 battery's connected in parallel (Im aware of the poor life Im going to get but space was an issue)

Let the flaming begin :beer:

Nice work!!! but sorry to inform you it's been done...

Well like I said I know its not a brand new idea.
At the same time I still haven't seen another with the
wheel acting as the switch, also mine retains the original zippo dimensions.

Don't get me wrong. I was just simply pointing out that the zippo idea has been done. I do like your build. The modified wheel switch is schweet!
