Hey everyone.
So soon I will be getting a 445nm diode... and I have decided that I want this 445nm laser to be special in my collection - not just a C6 host, but something AMAZING.
So, here is what I need from ya'll. I have already done a lot of searching, but I haven't found anything to my satisfaction entirely yet.
The requirements for this host are as follows:
- Needs to fit one 18650 or two 16340s
- Space for a heatsink as well as a driver pill (as seen in the C6 host, something like that)
- Preferably, have an assault crown!
- Look amazing!
- Cost at most, $25
Now, it would be great if there was a flashlight whose driver outputs 1.2A of current regulated supply. Problem is, that most likely won't happen. But, if you find one whose built-in driver supplies 1.2-1.3A of current to 445nm diodes and has been vetted, etc., by all means, point me to that!
Anyway, I appreciate all the help. I am looking for a host that will be truly unique.
Thanks!
EDIT: Here are a couple that I have found that I sorta like so far....

Obviously, the top one is my favorite Looks coolest.
I intend for this laser to look like it will eat you alive and spit you back up. I want it to look mean. After all, it will be a burner (1.2W of power, anyone?).
