Dorcy Jnr Build

[Dave 300]

I have a Dorcy jnr 1 watt flashlight coming over from the States and id like some advice on what build would be cool to fit in it. I want to focus the beam and if i went for red what would be the brightest most powerful i could fit and who could i get the parts from, green i guess it would be the same things really brightest and who from . I have a Sartan 1 watt 445 , a yobresal 1.2 445 so unless i was at the + side of 1.5 which would be quite insane id stick to the others. This site is massive and searching through i get very side tracked with all the different builds !!
Any way all your advice would be welcome.

That was kinda confusing. I'll try and answer as best as I can lol

Okay so you'll need a module to focus it. You could put a red diode and get around 300mw out of it. LPC-815 20x DVD burner laser lens assembly w/ red laser diode [LPC-815] - $8.99 : Modwerx Shop
Green uses a bigger module and probably won't work for your build.
I don't really see any other questions in your post so that should do it lol

There is a group-buy going on right now and you can get LPC-815 sleds for ~$5.

Some compassionate souls might spoon feed you, do all the work for you, and tell how to do it, but most people here are going to tell you the same thing. Do a lot of reading!!!

I must have spent 3 weeks straight, 3-5 hours every day reading before I attempted my first build.

Take a look at the links my sig, that should get you started. :beer:

Yeah dont worry im on quite a few hours blasting through the forum myself but you never know that someone might suggest some thing quite special then if i can build it that would be something achieved !
