GB: Dual Host/Heatsink Combo - Flashlight / Laser In One! - Laser Pointer Forums

jayrob · 11-22-2009, 06:18 AM

Any interest in building this nice dual Flashligh/laser combo?

The host is a very bright flashlight on one end, and the other end can be modified with a blu-ray laser.

If there are at least 5 buyers total (need 4, because I want another one), I can buy 5 of these hosts with a slight discount in pricing...

I will make the heatsink needed for the build, and you can just follow my tutorial: (read the tutorial because it is a case positive light)
Tutorial: Blu-ray Laser / Flashlight Combo! - SCHWEET!

You will receive:

* The dual Cree light
* The custom heatsink

Price: $53 dollars plus $6 dollars shipping. (paid in advance - We need at least 4 more buyers total)

Out of U.S. buyer assumes responsibility at that shipping price. It should not be a problem though... (I would mark the package as a gift, with a description of 'LED Flashlight' with a low value of $15)

It's an awesome build, I really like the quality of the host, and the flashlight is very bright. Just as bright as a Q5. I believe it is a Q5 emitter.

Any takers?

this looks really cool, but this would be my first laser build ever and I would just mess it up. I also don't know what half the things you are talking about. but awesome job still.

jayrob · 11-30-2009, 06:36 AM

Yeah... I guess it would be for those who already have some building skills. I thought there would be more interest. I guess it's just because I really like the build...

Rob · 11-30-2009, 07:47 AM

Honestly I'm surprised no is interested in this. It's a pretty unique build.

zaery · 01-25-2010, 04:44 AM

Bump, and i'm interested.

Interested members don't = a real buyer here.
If you are interested enough to post, Buy the kit or stop wasted posts.

Hey I haven't heard anything on this thread for a couple of months!

I figured that nobody wanted to mess with a case positive build. But if you look at my tutorial link, it's not hard. Just a little different is all...

@HM:
I'm sorry, i thought that if i wanted to be part of a group buy, then i should say so. I also thought that group buys didn't buy things immediately, but waited until there were enough people, so i was voicing my interest to be one of those people. Correct me if i'm wrong.

@Jayrob:
I think following a step-by-step tutorial is not too much trouble for an awesome laserlight like this one

jayrob · 01-25-2010, 04:58 AM

It's all good...

Mike probably thought this was my FS thread for the heatsink is all.

I'll put you down on the first post as 'interested'. And hopefully we get 3 more...

dfhrace · 02-15-2010, 05:10 PM

i would love to build one of these do you think it would be too hard for first laser build? i am very good with electronics and projects of this nature but have never messed around with laser but i would love to and this project looks sooo nice

jayrob · 02-15-2010, 06:20 PM

It's not too bad...

If you want to try, you can just follow the link to buy the host, and then I can sell you the heatsink... (but if we get a couple more interested, we can do the GB)

If you are new to lasers, please read up on eye safety. This can easily cause permanent damage to the eye...
