Why not? Just contact Eudaimonium, Flaminpyro or Mrcrouse, as they all make custom heat sinks! You could perhaps also try Jayrob, he might have a kit available...:beer:

Basically all I have is the host. Nothing else, no diode, nothing.

Well pretty much any flashlight or in fact box will work. All you have to do is fit a heatsink, module for the diode, diode, driver, batteries and lens. Id suggest looking up the exact name of the light you have and typing it into the search bar, maybe someone has built one before and written a review on how to do it! :beer:

Sorry still looking.

Anyway, you need to decide what you want to build and go from there. Do you want a red, blue, violet or green laser. Do you want a single mode (lower power, but nice spot) or a more powerful multimode with a line or bar output? Once you have decided you can then choose a driver and what current it needs to be set at. Then you can decide on your battery combination, which will basically be selected by the driver you choose...:beer:

Ah, that was of course the most difficult and expensive option! Well youll have to look at ordering a completed module. Unless you have the experience and knowhow to make one

I think Jayrob is selling some powerful 532 modules, he also builds kits so maybe he can machine a custom heatsink for your light at the same time...:beer:
