New Company ? NEW MINI HOST

[phoenix77]

Hi all, just by accident I happened across this discount company which I automatically went to the laser section to see if they had anything interesting. This is the address for the site; MiniInTheBox - Global Online Shopping for Dresses, Home & Garden, Electronics, Wedding Apparel

The new host shows a lot of promise I thought, so I figured I'd share it with the Forum. Here's what the new host I was looking at looks like;

She runs on 1, AA battery & is made by CREE whom we all are familiar with, since a lot of builds on LPF use CREE hosts. For only $8.49 & free shipping, it might be worth looking into. I ordered one today. They come in either GRAY or BLACK, I chose BLACK. Check out this site, they have a lot of other potential hosts for the DIY'ers out there. Thanks for reading,

A build has already been done with that host. http://laserpointerforums.com/f52/cree-q5-made-into-3-mode-445nm-78739.html

@ jakeyboii, I was doing that in the hospital while waiting for my granddaughter to be born, which turned out to be a false alarm anyway. Good catch though, thanks.

@ awillis2589, sorry I wasn't aware that particular host had already been used in a build. Was the price at least cheaper??

I don't know how much he paid for his but i get mine here https://www.fasttech.com/products/1206301 and I get 5% off of that with a coupon code. i buy these and sell them but have thought about using one as a host before as well. and shipping though USPS is super fast usally like 5-7 days after order is placed and it take 1-2 days to fufill orders. from china thats fast!

MiniInTheBox has been around, I've been ordering from them for awhile Although every now & then when they run out of something, they dont restock it but will still take an order for it!

WTH have I been livin', under a rock. Why didn't I hear about this place ? Well, at least the word is out (obviously) AGAIN ! I hope it helps out SOME of the DIY builders out there............. phoenix77

PS, yeah, I used a code too to get 4% off an order over $40.00. On the internet there are a bunch of different coupons for this distributor, all different kinds & different %'s depending on how much you spend, for free shipping no matter HOW much you spend, & I even saw one there for MOTHER'S DAY. Go figure ?!?!?

I have it in a laser kit on ebay $179 2.2w to 2.5w 281079365866 it has a 9mm 445nm diode in it.

 

[jander6442]

Heck these have been used many times before, so keep on no worries.

 

[phoenix77]

@ ricktrent4, hey rick, would you happen to have a 'sink for that host that would fit a standard AIXIZ module ? rob

@ jander6442, yeah so I've been told, LOL. Mighta been popular during one of my surgical procedures, when I wasn't on LPF much, IDK, but I sure missed hearing about them. It LOOKS like a nice host though............ rob

 

[awillis2589]

Probably not rick doesn't use aixiz modules.

 

[phoenix77]

Hey rick, think you could PM me some info. on how you set up that 445nm build in this host.Especially anything about the 'sink. I like to try to give it a shot myself, if i can find someone to do the soldering for me. I'd appreciate it Rick. Thanks.......... phoenix77
