Please forgive and educate me if I mis-step with etiquette, as I respect your knowledge and appreciate your input.

Building a 405nM handheld.
Not sure what I'll use as host but have a few things laying around. Looking at some Harbor Freight cheapo LED flashlights as host.

Stuff I have now, including what was lying around and my first bit of parts purchased:
3 sets of Yiding 190nm-540nm goggles
2 CR123A rechargeable LiOn 3v batteries
1 alkalyne 6v lantern batt (the big square one)
1 SLD3234VF 150mW ultraviolet 405nM diode from Anomalytech (in an Aixiz module)
445nm 405nm Three Element Glass Lens for Aixiz Module from DTR
1 45 mm x 20 mm x 25 mm aluminum heatsink for Aixiz module

no driver but 1 failed attempt a building a linear DDL driver (LM317) from a schematic I found online.
 





Welcome to LPF! I would recommend filling in your location on your profile, as this is a worldwide forum and not everyone reads the "Welcome" section. You can buy lots of drivers from several places online if you have more trouble building them.

Enjoy your stay! :D
 
oops...I put it in my first post because I am a noob and didn't see the user cp...updated now, thanx

I have no trouble finding where to purchase them; just can't figure out which is the best driver to match my needs.

PS: I dig your Pink-Floyd-ish avatar

Thanks for the welcomes. I read a good bit of the stickies but there's no way I reading them all...there's quite a bit of 'em...lol Hopefully my spider senses were correct about which ones were important.
