Thank you for the heads up. I remembering your post about that, but there was no mention of the seller details. I did order one and will report back. I should have ordered from you. For just a few dollars more I could have avoided this situation and got a module too.

Sorry guys. I can't seem to get the pictures to shrink. Here are 2 DIY potting recipes. They have not been tested for safety or effectiveness, but they should be quite effective. The first one seems to be doing its job in a couple high power flashlights I have built. One driving an MT-G2 at...

Sleds for $59.00USD here.

I agree. I'd buy one if I didn't already have a handful of C8's.

I do. It's easy to inflect pain on others when you don't feel it yourself. It harder to avoid inflicting it unnecessarily and to acknowledge to yourself that you are inflicting it and are responsible for inflicting it when it has to be done. You may feel superior to mice and that only your...

Not an expert, but have some layman experience from flashlights. Assuming handheld laser. I think it depends on if the host can radiate all of the heat heat produced in to the air and into your hand. If it can, conductivity/emissivity are most important. If it can't, then finding a way to...

Hard to tell due to some apparent description errors. So not sure if any are good deals, but there are a bunch of lasers on clearance under the Flashlights and LED's category. Just click the "See More>>" button on the right. Massive clearance Here's a link directly to the category. Massive...

Thank you for putting it this way. You just convinced me to pull the trigger on those Eagle glasses. Your words come across somewhat harsh, but I know you are only saying them because you care. Don't worry. I'm not about to get all group huggy on you all. I've been using the Uvex's for my...

Hi JeremyC. Very sorry to hear about you burn. I've had several bad burns from various sources. Do you have access to an Aloe plant? I find that to work so much better than triple-antibotic. I cut open the leaf, squeeze a few drops over the wound and then gently "wash" the wound with the...

I guess the upside is your using almost all of the light. Only the emitters w/base, reflector, and lens are tossed. Your modding the excellent driver that it already has, which is needed for the magnetic control ring. There is a lot of hardware throughout that light. Even the cell carrier...

Hi IWIRE. To the best of my understanding, Li-ions and Li-Po require the same charging cycle (CC/CV). I'm no expert though. I'm assuming your RC charger is for Li-Po's. I've heard of several people that do use those chargers for Li-Ion. My hobby charger only has a Li-Po option, but it...

I'm in a similar boat in that I purchased some 3w emitters advertized as 365nm. To me the visible portion of the light is almost neutral white. Pretty faint though. Not purple like some 395's I have. Things fluoresce more evenly or softly. Not as brilliantly. I've been told the Canadian...

+1 on IWIRE's recommendation for better cells. When using Li-ion cells in series, you really need to go with quality made cells. You probably already know this, but just in case. You should check the voltage of the cells prior to loading them in your laser and upon removal. If the cells...

Thank you Gismo for googling that info on my behalf. Very generous and kind of you. I feel very humbled. The 2 pictures in that link are incredible. So the photons are emitting from that thin copper colored line that is between the 2 objects I referenced in the question. Makes me appreciate...

Stunning photos Gismo. I can't imagine the knowledge, skill, and patience it takes to create them. Thank you for sharing. Please excuse my dumbassery. Where it the point that the photons are emitted from the subject emitter? Is it from the end of the black thing that is on top of the black...

Aw, thank you. I missed that detail. I have no experience with that particular driver, but I bet it's every bit as good as the ones in ThruNite's other premium lights. Thank you for your testing and reporting on this driver. That laser just gets sweeter and sweeter as the removed layers are...

Awesome build. Very classy and tough. Love it. You said: "...The driver is a true constant current driver, from a dead short to a Vf of about 9-10V" I agree that the TN driver is very high quality. I don't quite understand the above statement means. I've tried to drive an MT-G2 with a TN31...

Very cool. No build details? EDIT: I missed the link or it was added to Post 4. Thank you.

Got mine today. Clearly, thought and care was taken to both protect and ship in an economical manner. Thank you Jim.

Got mine today. Looks good through the anti-static bag. Thank you. Hitting the rep button, but I don't understand that whole process and if it will give you any street cred points or anything cool.
