I just finished my latest 445nm build, in a host I haven't seen used before. I ordered it from deal extreme and it was supposed to be a Cree Ultrafire C5 Stainless Steel flashlight, but not surprisingly when it arrived it was not a Cree.
Anyway, I still love the host, maybe even more because it arrived with 2 milled down surfaces in the side and some carbage chinese lettiering, which ehgemus was kind enough to mill off the host for me. He also custom milled the heatsink for it.
And, it is nice and heavy and has a great feel to it.
Anyway, here's a few pics and a link to the dealextreme page for it, if anyone else wants to build one:
UltraFire C5 Stainless Steel CREE P3-8B 2-Mode 4700K LED Flashlight with Strap (1*18650) - Free Shipping - DealExtreme
Here's how it breaks down. I meant to snap a few shots before starting the build, but I forgot, so this is partially assembled
The host has a nice deep pill for your driver, and is constructed very well.
Here it is reassembled as a laser
And how about a beam shot?
