I knew you weren't. I just needed a better insight because its tough to understand at first.

Just ordered myself one of these diodes and some modules from DTR. Will be building one as soon as they get here. This will be my first red build. Can't wait! Now I just have to decide which host I want it in.

the options for these builds are limitless. Grab a host from flaminpyro or moh from budgetbeams

I just ordered a sweet host from Ehgemus, but I think I'm going to use it for a higher power blue or a green build. Might just use the WF501B Host I have laying around and keep it a cheap build.

I'm sure it'll look good regardless :)

Nice build buddy i have 3 of those diodes sitting around. I built one in a 501B xdrive set to 900mA / G2 lens. Im building another 501B with that same 638nm but i will be setting the driver ti 1200mA or 1300mA. That diode can be driven by one or two 18650's. But ill be using one at that amperage to see what happens. Congratulations nice review :))

Thank you.. I look forward to seeing how your build will turn out!

Great build thread! Great pics!
I loved this build when I did mine. I actually think the wings when focused is kinda cool. But thats me. I also want to get that new snake tongue diode as well!
edit: wow this was an older thread to start! I ended up keeping this build in a C6 host powered by a SL 1.25 amp buck driver powered by a single 3.7 cell! Puts out still about 885mA!
