hello everyone its been some time since i posted on the forum and i have made this build over a month ago and i wanted to share it :beer:
It is a kind of budget build but it feels very nice on the hand and i love it.
the host was originally 2x AA batteries and after a bit of sanding on the heatsink it fitted nicely.
i used a a linear driver and at first tried it with 2 14500 batteries but it was running out of regulation very quick when the volts drop at 3.9 so i had a better idea as i was using a liner driver,i bought 14250 batteries and used 3 of them in series and a spacer
the beam is very visible and tight
it has a G2 lens and the diode running at 250ma,it has 1 hour runtime with the 14250 batteries and its 115mw :yh:
since i made this laser i don't use my 532nm lasers as this have better green color and its alot more stable in output.i still waiting a 505nm diode for my next build thought
