Today I'm going to show you LIB's build in an ultrafire host. You'll be amazed by the aluminium heatsink polishing that
stains with dirty hands if you're not careful. The host feels nice in the hand and I chose the stainless steel host (not from
DX, because it would have been a multimode (hi/lo/strobe/SOS etc) so that the weight is centered and therefore it won't
fall off towards the front ("en avant") Here's the laser in the host we all love with a heatsink you will all be amazed of...
The full module compared to a bic lighter
Heatsink close-up
Up-front
To bad it doesn't work.
I would love to take beamshots but it just won't lase. It will output a faint red (probably IR) when turned on. I tested
on fully charged 14500 on both polarities, and put it in the fridge at 8°C for ten minutes but there is still the same
problem. Anyone knows why ? My guess is that it got damaged during shipping (a lot (rather tons of terrible things)
can happen in ten days) and therefore the crystals may have been misaligned.
I had a 5mW greenie that got broken because of misuse and will show the same red emission if the batttery
voltage are slightly low, but will run normally on fresh batts. Do you think I should feed the laser more ? (I'm sorry
I had to ask, I want to exploit every possibility before considering a "RMA")
Oh well... I hope you enjoyed the pictures, thanks for reading my mini-review and please answer my Qs if possible....
