Hello everyone! Been a long time since I've built a laser or been around. I have mostly been building flashlights. Anyway I noticed the 488s have come down in price and decided to build one. The issue is a driver, and what current I can run. Will the 220mA from Survival work? What's the max...

Hello guys, Been quite awhile since I have logged on. Life has been crazy lately with the new house and my kid about to start school. Just the other night me and my son pulled out some of the lasers and had some fun with them. Also we have been using those star shower motion things to have some...

Hey all, been awhile and i apologize I have fallen off so much. I still use my lasers quite regularly but my work schedule has been crazy since i changed shifts. Anyway, I killed my Hugsby XP red pocket build and wantes to replace it temporarily with an executive style 532nm pointer for...

I have a factory built JetLaser 2.4w output I want to sell. I am in need of some extra cash for a down payment on a home and selling a few things. I will be buying one of these back later, as it's my favorite unit i have right now. I will post pictures in a bit! Requirements: Positive...

It's getting a bit ridiculous that people are immature and retarded enough to be shining lasers at aircraft's.. our hobby is in grave danger and soon we will be labeled as criminal if we don't figure out how to bring awareness to our peers about shining lasers up in the sky. States combat...

I love these LPC (826,836,840) diodes I buy them in 10 packs and just use them for fun. Pushing them in on my lpm bench setups... etc Anyway, this is a Hugsby XP1 1x AAA flashlight host (decided to go for the single, already have the 2x AAA version in a red as well) and I really like this tiny...

Just recently I started a build on a DIY Brushless drone.. it's coming together slowly and I'm building it with used eBay/Craigslist parts and gonna be buying a new flight controller (not sure which.. still researching. Will have GPS and such). Anyway I got me some of what they call "toy-grade...

Anyone know of a host/housing with a rail mount included in it? For flashlight or laser purposes? Everything I see available is extremely high priced or questionable quality (in pre-made stuff) and was just curious if anyone knew of one! If you'd rather not share info about this topic PM it to...

I'm gonna start offering some CCBoost RC1 in my builds/modules I have tried to get in touch with RHD with no luck yet, wanted his pemission but I'll be asking again tonight. This is RHD's circuit, I am only building his circuit right now because some of the testing was there and I wanted to...

So I had to take some parts from this light for someone's build so decided to rebuild it into a pen pointer for myself. It is a Hugsby XP2 and originally was a 120Lm 2x AAA flashlight which worked well but I needed a switch out of it and tore it apart. Well yesterday I put it back together but...

I have been reading up on this as I have one that my brother would like to use as a PJ and I'd like to extract more than 8 out of it. I've already read about the resistor and diode method as well as some other ways to trick it into not error in and running.. just curious if any of you fellas...

Just had an idea to help guys who are new to building or want to start building. The plan is to offer everything they need with good instructions and proper tools required to do so. What I'm thinking: 2x LPC-826 Diodes (2 for 2 tries, one mistake allowed.. cheap and still semi fragile to keep...

sold This is a M140 M-Type 445nm Laser Diode pressed into a DTR Copper module with an extended brass back-half; Driven by a XDrive 1.8A driver and a Lifetime17 battery contact board supplies it. The custom heatsink is hand built by Lifetime as well as the focusing knob, I added some personal...

I have ordered parts and boards for both of the old "open-source" boost drives that were made by forum members to attempt and reflow them myself and run some tests on my oscilloscope, as well as hooking up to a test load and seeing what they are capable of. I am wondering if any of you guys...

Has anyone tried these techhood eBay combine/reflect optics? They are insanely cheap and not sure exactly how well they would work.. trying to source some budget parts for my mock-up testing or my RG:Y combiner I have some LPC-826 I'm gonna either combine them or run a single with low mw green...

Not sure if any of you guys are aware of what is going on here in the city of Charlotte NC but it's quite wild how far it has escalated. Please give your opinion on the issue and what you think should be done! Charlotte police shooting: Family says video is unclear - CNN.com ^ Some of the...

This is the last chance before I purchase all drivers myself at the discounted price, the buy will go through regardless of participation and I am offering a chance to get drivers at a small discount (although not great discount, it's still a discount) and these may not be around for ever, nor...

Looking for a micro boost preferably to run a stronger diode but would be interested in a groove or flex type as well. I have plenty to trade or I will be glad to buy! If you just want a diode or a module we can work it all out via PM thanks! I have othe stuff (tons of hosts, random parts...
