So, I have my build semi planned out and want some help.

I am experienced with soldering and understand the physics (power, wavelength ,etc: minor in physics:san:).

Here is what I have already picked out:

safety first: Uvex S1933X Skyper Safety Eyewear, Black Frame, SCT-Orange UV Extreme Anti-Fog Lens - Amazon.com

can someone tell me if they will be good enough. The threads on the safety forum say they will but I feel like I'm going cheap on most important part.

host: UltraFire G60 U 501B UV 3W Ultraviolet LED Flashlight | eBay. or http://zerolasers.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=184

I'm assuming that will be ok. I felt like a c6 wouldn't cut it in terms of heat dispersion. Any suggestions for other hosts/ heat sinks would be appreciated.

heat sink: refer to the above.

lens, module and diode combo: Combo Special
445nm M140 Diode In Copper Module With Leads
& 405-G-2 Glass Lens
$90

driver: I was hoping you guys could help me with that. (1.5-2)W. I didn't want to pick one myself because i wasn't sure if it would fit in my host. or other hosts.

battery: I will search the forums for suggestions once I make a decision on the driver.

Any help would be appreciated,
thanks in advance.
