BIG o-like modules.

[Eku]

Why hasn't anyone made a host/kit for the big o-like modules when 120mw-150mw of green isn't enough?

They are quite new... maybe ask "Jayrob" or "Likeitbright" to make one...

I thought they had been there for ages. Infact, that member who makes all the high powered IR handhelds made a handheld from one of these I think.

You could talk to John Lawson - I believe he found hosts for these (althought they were around $75 IIRC)

Billg519 built a host for one of these modules...

I wonder if it is worthwhile really... as they also sell them in a host already (at least, i assume they contain the same modules) for just shy of $100 more. Adjustable focus would be nice though.

But making your own host is always cool and will probably cost you a lot less than $100(not that it would matter that much after spending 500 on the module). But if I had the money to buy one of those I'd make my own host too, it's something to get creative on and gives you a feeling of self acomplishment and a unique host.

Thats if you have a lathe .

Yea, if you have access to some tools it's just a pleasure to use them to make something for yourself

If you own all the tools its cheaper. Having someone turn it for you would likele be more expensive. But even if you have to buy a couple of drillbits plus the material to make it out of, it might be a close call... and given the price of these modules i think its unlikely people would make more then one for personal use.

Then again, its also a hobby, so i look forward to what people come up with!

Well I got a lathe and a grinder in the basement, and lots of drill bits and drilling machines.I have about 50-60cm of aluminum rod that I got for free.So for me it would just cost the time and effort.I'd definitely be one of those who would build a host rather than paying and extra $100.That is , if I had the money to buy diodes and modules to build them for.
