Husky LED build-

[o0ICE0o]

Digging through my junk drawer in the kitchen; I found this neat little flashlight.
It’s a husky with 12 LEDS.
Long story short, I took it apart.
I noticed a striking resemblance to the PocketMini.

This is going to be a red burner with an old SenKet diode I had laying around.
The only thing left is to go to Home Depot to get some washers, and wait for the DrLava FlexDrive I ordered.

...I will update after I get those items and finish assembly.

250 mA.
I have a SenKat diode, and I want it to have a long life...

BRAIN SMACK! :shhh:
I just had an Idea...
Press-fit a washer onto the focusing ring to make a BIG focusing ring that would be easy to use with the host...

Pics!
When it is all the way in, it is flush with the rest of the washers.

waaa-heeey!

That's actually the part of my build that I'm most worried about. I'm probably going to be going the washer route but I'm worried about finding washers that will fit my host/module PERFECTLY. Did you have to do any modifying to your washers or are those standard sizes?

btw, thanks for your reply on my post and the +rep! Much appreciated.

 

[o0ICE0o]

No, no modifying, but I did need to spend some time in the hardware store.
MINI TUT!
There are two sizes of washers, the big one to fit into the head of the host tightly. The hole size on this one does not matter very much as long as it's bigger than the aixiz module.
The second size is smaller in overall diameter, but the hole is just barley larger than the outside of the aixiz module. It slides over it easily.

I also got two O-Rings.
The first was to fit over the threaded part of the top-half of the module.
The second fits on the larger part of the top of the module, and fills in the gap between the small washers on the front and back of the big washer to keep it centered.
If you don't get what I mean, I’m working on a picture to make it mildly clear what I am trying to say...

Oh, and use JB Weld all over the inside to hold the whole thing in place, that's also what is going to hold the big washer onto the host.

Here is my awsome pic...
:drool:

ohh, JB Weld, that makes alot more sense then! lol xD

I guess once it's in there, its in there for good. haha.

Excellent!

I'm ordering a bunch of my parts very soon. ^_^
