18650 Green host

[MSwizzle]

Does anybody know of a host that can fit a 1860 battery and a green module?


Thanks,
Matt

You need a heatsink or something that holds the module in the host.

I was looking at those, but I read in a few places that since a green module is bigger than a diode you need to use cr123a or other smaller battery's.

Is this right or can you put a green module in any 18650 host?

Thanks,
Matt

I'm pretty sure jayrob offers a host that'll fit one. His green kit is a CR2 kit but I'm pretty sure he has an 18650 kit that can take a green. I'd either check his various threads in the LPS or his compilation thread

Might not hurt to post over in the BST forum either since a lot of LPF members offer custom hosts.

Its an 18650 host that takes a module and a CR123. There are none that I can think of unless you get Ehgemus to make you one.

Cheers!

I would buy a cheap green laser like this one HERE and then remove the cheap laser assembly and put my own in.

I would NOT do this^ Getting the module out would be a HUGE pain in the ass, and a new module will most likely NOT fit.

Matt;

This is the host I would use:

445nm Host

It has plenty of heat-sinking and room, which you will need for that green module.

I purchase them in bulk for the UV lights I build.

Read this thread.

Same host midias linked, but cheaper.
$15 host, easy to work on. Uses standard module.

I knew I had seen that somewhere but could not remember the location thanks

Thanks for the link. I may buy one of those just to cannibalize the host for a green build.

^ I think I might do this too
