Pls recommend a good 445 with high reliability.
Basically the need is that I would want a nicely built with good driver/wiring/soldering with high reliability.
Don't have to be high powered like incorporating a G-2 lens pushing out 2W. In fact I prefer the better divergence in the distance of a Aixiz.
Currently looking at the basic Survival laser Aurora host at $139 with copper heatsink (add $10). I am in the flashlight hobby too, so no issue I can get one of my better tailcaps to stand in.
(I have a Tank007 PT30 which is not used often, can change that out). I am impressed with this as the driver is properly heatsinked to the host, and the copper heatsink also touches the host nicely.
So 2 min run with high reliability is not a problem at all, esp when it is not run at high current / high power. I like the flexibility in that I can do 2 x 18650 with an extension tube, which increases thermal mass somewhat and also cooling surface area.
I can do up to $300 max.
There is a Suvival Laser 2W which is coming up soon in weeks to come, not sure if anyone knows what's the host?
Thanks!
PS. I already have a 1.65W hotlight with njg-18, but that runs HOT! Driver is not heatsinked to the host, not really efficient. I guess its not going to survive my use for long.
