Hi. A few days ago I was on eBay looking for Phr's and i decided to see if they had any GGW's. so i typed in GGW-H20L and I came across a very nice GGW laser, I really wanted it, but then i saw the price: $599.00. So then I decided to see if i could build my own, but i dont know the which host or heatsink.
Original link:LG-GGW-H20L 6x Diode Laser / Stainless Steel Body - eBay (item 320471198395 end time Feb-04-10 13:37:38 PST)
Can anyone tell me which host and heatsink this is? thanks
Here are some pics:

That price is a rip off. Search Jayrob for similar kits. He has many options. It shouldnt cost you over $250.

Interesting host. Just asked the seller. Maybe they won't answer, but at least I tried.

If you're wondering how this is known, look at the drivers in this auction:
BluRay Burner 150mW 405nm Laser diode DIY Module 3vdc - eBay (item 320466404667 end time Jan-22-10 13:35:14 PST)
There was another auction with the driver boards all in a row like in his thread for them, the 'pyrodrives'.

I gave the answer. If you took 10 minutes doing a little reading you would see what type of host it is.

I saw your post. But I don't remember seeing Jayrob's kit that uses this same host. Or am I wrong?

Looks like this...just not stainless. I said similar, not exact.

Yep, saw this one. Thanks. Looks very similar indeed. But I still would love the stainless one to mess with it myself, e.g. swap the LED for a more powerful one.

Well, I think I just found the host like 5 minutes ago. Its DX SKU 26992 (DealExtreme: $25.80 UltraFire RL-118 Stainless Steel OSRAM LUW-W5AM 2-Mode 150-Lumen Memory LED Flashlight (1*CR123A)) All I need now is which heat sink its using.

Heat-sink is either custom-made by the seller or (more likely) made by Jayrob, similar to his "pocket mini" heatsink (excellent craftsman, highly recommended if you need anything made!)
