Diode: LG BH10 10X.
Host: An old wooden salt shaker (lol). I slid two 1" copper couplings inside, which I soldered together. The couplings assist with the heat displacement. I did this because the wooden host has no heat sinking ability. I used a little Arctic silver to get better heat transfer from the aluminum heat sink to the copper couplings. In addition, the couplings carry the negative current from the tail switch to the diode.
Driver: Flexdrive set @ 335mA
Power supply: 3x AAA
Lense: Jayrob 405-G-1
This baby is pushing 493mW's
This is by far my favorite build to date! It's very unique. I don't think anyone used a wooden host before. It has a solid heavy feel to it. I can't put it down...it likes to be held.:drool:
Let me know what you guys think of it?
