Hey guy's, I'm new here. My name's dan. I run Killer Lumens. I specialize in flashlights and handheld lighting devices for first responders and LEO and also in RGB / RGBW lights and a very special device for law enforcement and private security called "pukelight". (Check out my site Puke Light)
Anyway this is a new toy I put together for myself. It's a solarforce L2C with a super expensive LEDENGIN LZ1 365nm UV emitter I was able to mount on a xml color sinkpad allowing my to overdrive it slightly since its DTP (direct thermal path) spec'd at 1A I'm driving it at 1.4A. It has a driver of mine that I developed for weapon mount / handheld tactical lights. It's a 7135 based driver with a constant voltage SEPIC converter so it can run single Li-ion or 2xCR123's. Usually I run lights with this driver much higher but had to turn it down for this emitter. I have 2 more of these emitters so I may end up pushing it a little more, maybe up to about 1.75A but a $40 loss if I kill it isn't something I'm in any hurry to do. My next build using these LEDENGIN LZ1's wi be in a THRUNITE TN30, I'll be using 2 of the new "dental blue" 460nm emitters (for curing dental resin and teeth whitening) and the third will be another of these 365's.
Anyway just a few pic's I snapped while building. I'll get some better pic's over the weekend.
I know this isn't exactly the preferred way to do an intro but I thought this would be a little more exciting for you guys if I had something to show than if I just posted "hi I'm new here, I like lights and an new to lasers".
Here's the light with my small knife art exclusive CRK Sebenza 21. The CF is almost a perfect match.
And a few built pic's (again I'll get some better pic's in the next few days including a few beam shots making shit glow). I don't really have any practical need for this light, purely a toy.
Well actually only 2 build pic's for tonight. Sizing the XML color sinkpad down to 16mm to fit the P60 pill (I used a special pill from a SF M1 masterpiece) and moddig it to work with the LZ1
And mounted
Anyway hope you enjoy seeing my work. I'll be around more now I hope. I have my first laser host out at my machineist's getting a custom pill made. For my first build I'm using a convoy M2 host with a 445 diode and a constant current linear driver I designed (one of my favorite aspects of the hobby is the PCB layout in eagle and circuit design).
