I am currently working on a new laser host, that i'm going to sell as DIY kit's for phr-803t diodes, lpc 815/826 diodes, and 6x blu-ray diodes.

Maybe in the future i could find Good drivers with 100% duty cycle that have very little heat output and will fit in the host and make 1-2W 445nm kits!

I do not yet know the price as i'm designing and figuring out the best way to build and make it as easy for the user to assemble. But i know it will be under $50 for the 405nm and 650nm Kits.

Here's the disassembled flashlight - go to this link witch is my website to view the photos since i cannot fnd out how to put picture in a thread.

Kudos to you if you are interested , i apologize for my terrible photography and noobish post, i am extremely new to LPF so be easy on me

Feel free to comment on any additional detail you would like to know.

I have one of those built into a 2.2W bad boy sporting a blitzbuck V2 1.8A... How are you doing the heatsink.? I had some issues with that host one being the tailcap switch. It ended up being a momentary switch which I love now that I think about it. Thats a Cost(0 unit, I can't wait until they get there new batch in, sometimes those are great cheapo units.:wave:

I'm not to sure on the heat sinking as of now, but i' debating over machining copper or aluminum heat sinks. But if you built a laser out of one these flashlight i would love to see pics:san:

I'll take some pics when I get home. I'll post them in this thread if you don't mind

IIRC I put the blitz on a huge sink on the pill where the driver board use to sit. I like the fact that the pill threaded up to the sink... I was going to build a PHR unit out out of my remaining host (3pack) using the tail switches mode selection. I need to source a boost driver for that build I'm planning on using a 22500 battery for sure though.:yh:

Be careful not to overload those tail switches, i dumped 400mA threw one driving a lpc 826 and it killed the switch. so im going to be using PBNO switches on the tail caps:) and i dont mind if you post pics:)
 
I bridged the switch for my build after stripping the factory components off I cannot recall any of their orientation. After looking at your pics I can confirm without a doubt they are identical.

ok, well im going to try to solve the burnout proble by running the lpc 815 kit at 300mA, so i can use the factory switch, but i might look into modifying it to run higher amps, but keep the multi-mode.:tinfoil:

sounds good... thanks:yh:

Wait are looking to purchase one? or know if the tail cap:undecided: can be modified?

I'm thanking you for your time and effort to see if there is a modification to be done on these tailclickys... I would use your fix on these if you were able to come up with one.:beer: I have other project forthcoming so this one I leave to you. If it were up to me it might take forever:cryyy:
