I have another amazing build done this week.. :wave:

- M140 Diode - 445nm
- X-Boost V7 Driver - set at 1397mA
- AW Li-Mn (IMR) Battery - 18350
- 2 Element Glass Lens

The host was made from a salvagable 22mm rod , i had left from previous machining.. I re-used a discarded tailcap and made a new heatsink for it aswell..

This turned out to be a super awesome every day carry laser..

I just Lpm'd it on my ophir head, with the 2 Element Glass Lens, It gives out quite a stable 1520mW output @1390mA

Images of the Build..

:thanks: for looking!

Would like to ask which glue you are using in the
fifth picture...I got Arctic Ceramique 2 but it never hardens. :thinking:

Thanks Bill.. I am so amazed by their features. It alerts me whenever the batteries reaches 3.65V , regulates quite well and has a soft start :wave:

It draws just under 2A from the 700mAh AW IMR battery, considering the battery to be exactly 700mAh, it should give me a good 21mins of use.. which i think it definitely does :beer:
