I recently finished my 12X project.
480mW at 300mA using FlexDrive V5 with LarryDFW's 405-G-1 lens.
Heat-sink is solid brass for a nice solid, heavy feel. Custom made by Flaminpyro (he did a damned fine job too!).
The battery used is a Sanyo 2400mAh 18650.
There isn't much 12X media here so I took plenty of pictures and made a video demonstrating the thermal power of this laser.
This thing is incredible. It's much brighter than I expected. I had to make a wider focus ring to keep my fingers out of the way... the beam is too hot to touch!
