My latest build, and my smallest yet :beer:




Same size as my middle finger :p




This is the host:
TrustFire MINI-03 Cree XP-G R5 200lm 3-Mode White Stainless Steel Flashlight (1 x 10440) - Free Shipping - DealExtreme



The build was somewhat a pain, since it was so small, and I tried an assembly that ended up working perfectly, so sadly I don't have any pictures, but here
is an AMAZING paint drawing :na:

Short duty cycles, since the Osram PLP520-B1 diodes get hot fast and there is no real heatsink :san:





The flashlight is twist on, untwist off, so no switch, only 2 pieces, one to hold the battery, then the front end!





Here's the best beam, shot I could get during the day lol, will try and get a better one once its dark ;)

That's tiny ! I bet it does heat up FAST. I just built one with a small heat sink and the run time is pretty short. Good job getting a diode stuffed in it though ! :beer:

Ha ! Your anal too. I get told that all the time. "Dude it doesn't matter"
Well good. If it doesn't matter then do it like this. :)
I enjoy the small builds too. They are challenging :beer:
