Hi, All
Just wanted to share with you all the driver that i have been using in my 445nm laser build for the last couple of months and it has been working great for me. I held off posting this till now to make sure it is working properly.
Heres the build iam using it in:
http://laserpointerforums.com/f65/m...ra-ss-r2-cree-jayrob-picture-heavy-52900.html
Here is the Driver: $1.99
DealExtreme: $1.99 18V 5W Cree Circuit Board for Flashlights (16.8mm*5.5mm)
I am running it off 2 Lifepo4 batteries 3.0 volts each cell. "When fully charged there ~3.36 each" SO if you are looking for a Driver that is single modded On/Off and running at 1.2amps this is a good driver.
I also want to mention that i stated above that it runs on 2 3.0v lifepo4 cells but if you put in 1 18650 it still works but not full power.:beer:
My outputs with the 2x 3.0 volt cells is 1167mW and with the 18650 iam getting around 215mW. So in a way it has 2 modes if you have an 18650 cell available.
Hope this helps anyone looking for a driver that is 1.2amps.
Also If your looking for the driver in this thread here ON CPF:

Here it is: you can put a pot on it and be able to adjust the current Ive got some coming in soon i will update you ll with the results:

Also I want to mention that suppliers tend to some times change the board up a bit so Lets hope they are the same as they are showing in there Picture and in the CPF thread
