Hey guys,
So JaiNobez here ordered this host to me, so I can make a laser in it.
And it's so awesome that I decided to review it alone.
Starting off, it's so cool...
...that it throws the picture into blue color cast.
You take it apart by removing the crown and the ribbed part of the head which looks like shrapnel:
You can further remove the piece which holds entire head to the barrel, to reveal the connection boards:
Which can be removed:
Connection board in place with connector attached, to provide connections for P60 drop ins this baby takes:
Now, ofcourse, we will not be using it as a light with crappy P60 derp-in it came with.
So, trip down to the basement, cut some aluminium stock, put in lathe on 40 minutes times, PING, done.
Yes it's the one in the damned middle. One on the left is UF 501B heatsink, on the right is Cree C6 heatsink (direct diode pressfit, hence smaller bored hole there at the top, not yet threaded.
I have made it a small intrusion on the back for NJG18 driver to sit comfortably.
Heatsink is exactly 40 mm long. Tell ya what, it's dying for a highly driven 445nm diode. Which is what it'll get.
Installed like so:
Into the grenade, uhh, head piece, then threaded together with an assault crown:
Then...
That threaded together with the connector board piece there and there you go.
Host bought from PriceAngels, but I have lost the link to it.
Host takes a standard 18650 cell with space to spare, or two 16340 no worries.
Highly reccomended.
