Good host for 200mw ebay laser module w/ driver?

[kaunak]

I want to buy a 200mw 532 laser module from ebay. I just need to know a suitable host that the module fits in correctly, preferrably using a single 16340 battery. Thanks

Can you link the module? That might help us find a host for you.

Yes. This is the module i'm planning on using

That is a standard 12mm module by the looks of it. You **SHOULD** be able to mount in a c6 host with a heatsink. You will need to solder and battery will be case positive. There are many tutorials on c6 hosts as they're very popular, however if you need more help i'll keep an eye on this thread

Do you happen to have an LPM and IR filter. If so, it'd be great if you gave us some results on the module if you buy it. That's quite a good price for the power if it is up to spec.

Yes it's quite a good price for the module only if the power is correct. From what I can tell the host that they advertise along with the laser is a pointer style host and uses AAA batteries. No way am I going to use AAA batteries for such a laser because of the current draw and improper voltage. Not sure if it uses two or three AAA but the voltages would either be 3.2 or 4.8 at full charge, which is below/above the recommended voltage for the driver. I'll have to look into the c6. I will post results if I use the module, but will have to be in a c6 with some type of heatsink or shim it looks like.

I have an msv1 that all you have to do is slide the module in and tighten the hex key. Literally nothing else lol. I've done it with one of those modules. I dropped it in , loaded up a 18650 and she was lasing.

Check out sinner's host clearout thread. Awesome hosts at ridiculous prices.

That sounds pretty good. I will see if sinner still sells those. I'll choose between that and the rayfoss host most likely.
