Just finished up my "light saber". 3.6 watt 9mm 445. How does it look?

Is that a combination of several hosts ? The laser works and that is the important fact. :)
How do you know that is 3.6Watt ?

Yes that looks like it's made from different hosts, very ingenuous, may I ask why there is electrical tape on the outside :thinking:

the tape will hold in heat and prevent conductance of heat from the laser to you hand which helps cool the laser, remember it's 3.6W :whistle:

And I also would like to know how you know it's 3.6W out :thinking:

You put it together but I don't see and assembly pictures did you forget to take some, I do that and then kick myself later.

I suspect it is running on 18650 cells, how about a little info on your laser :thinking:

Yes 2 different cree hosts and some black electrical tape, haha. Read 3.6 on LPM. That is with a g1 installed.

Basically, I came up with this because I had extra parts laying around. I am very impatient and could not wait until I found a host online that seemed appealing. Anyone have any good hosts that hold 2 18650 that aren't gigantic in diameter?

What LPM did you use (pretty much need an ophir to measure anything over 3.2W)......didnt happen to be a LB did you???? :whistle:

EDIT: there are PLENTY of hosts out there for 2x 18650.......trustfire TR-T1 is just one example

Check with Mrcrouse. He has plenty of great host of all shapes and sizes. That's a monster you got there. What current is the driver set to run .

Eh, not impossible to get 3.6W. Got to remember that most LPM readings are within 5% therefore the actual value of this laser is (3600 (+/-) 200)mW

Umm, what current was that run at? I want 3.5W+ :eg: Nice build, maybe find an alternative to the tape? Otherwise it looks good and seems to work GREAT! :gj:
