Ok so after building my Father-In-Laws 445nm Christmas gift today I got to thinking about taking my first laser build and putting it into one of these beautiful host I've got, so that just what I did. The pill in quite big on these so all i really had to do was remove the old pot, some extra wire and cram it in there.

This is how it originally started.

Then it became this.

Output power of 201mw with a 3 element lens, being driven at 250ma with a simple lm317 circuit.

The latest build is a far better host for heatsinking the module. Did you measured the output with your LPM ?
Thanks for showing us !

Your laser has changed homes more times than a hermit crab!

If I'm to be honest, the second one looks awesome due to it's uniqueness, however I can see the practical reasons behind settling on the classical torch housing.
