1.8A Ultrafire C8 Dual Flex!

[Positive]

Did you LPM it to get 2.2W?

No :/
I no longer have a meter.

Ah. Well no one will ever know then.. but doesn't look like a 2.2W to me, that's a gross estimation as well when the only predictor is 1.8A of current =/

Maybe get it LPM'd from someone near you, check the Member Map.

I estimated it at 2.2w with the 405-G-2 lens.

He only bought it with the 405/445 glass lens. So the output would be lower.

Yeah there's absolutely no way it's going to be 2W with a 3-element. I knew when I saw the speed at which it burnt that paper. Nothing like my 2.1W.

Still a high capacity laser in every manner though (heatsink, battery life).

 

[Machinist Joe]

Yeah. And it uses two currently very rare parts... flexdrives :crackup:

And in the video it didn't look like he really took the time to focus it well.

Mean-looking bastard, that is. :eg:

Hows the clicky on this? The one on mine broke/died, go figure. It stays on for a half second then blinks rapidly for a second or two then turns off. When I take it apart, the clicky is hot to the touch.
Was running m140 w/ two ben boosts at 914mAh = 1824mAh total.

Never heard of a problem... Try soldering a wire from the top of the spring to the pad if possible.

lol I've having so many problems with my build as of yesterday.
What would the extra wire do?
I may just go out and get a switch or something that fits in its place.

I'm thinking that the spring might not be able to handle the high current draw. Adding a wire would help. Maybe its a good idea to just buy a new one though.
