Love the "ACME" brand "beep beep",
Does it stay decently cool?:):beer:
 
What's up with your triple stacked focusing ring? I like that, gets your fingers out away from the burn zone lol. Great builds Rich you are really pumping them out lately.
 
Hi GSS,
Yes it stays very cool even with the 7875/ 9mm , The AL sink has nice mass to it and the shelf for the driver keeps it cool at 2.4A's . Solid grounding from the contact board to the bottom of the sink to , I added two small pieces of CU to the ground contacts also.
Thanks for looking ..

He tells me he uses Lock tight brand super glue.
 
Hi 94,
Yes as GSS said i use a locktite brand the 10 second setting type gel. all you need is four small drops at 12,3,6,and 9 o'clock stack them and use a right hand corner to get them square and straight .. If you get some were you don't want it usr acetone to remove the excess lightly..don't soak the adapters.
You can stack as many as you wish.. very effective

Wow, Rich, I love it.
Great work dude.

Quick (silly?) question: what's the advantage of having a stacked lens (apart from not getting your fingers burnt) ?

Hi RB, to funny that is yet to be determined it works and i think there pretty cool, And you can use a lens cap for the lens..

Very nice Lifetime! I love looking at your build pics, you can learn a lot from all your pics thanks! That's one sweet looking build! Lot of blue photons
 
Hi BM,
Thank you for looking these are very nice builds, the sinks have great mass to them , and can handle the larger diodes . I have 3 more sinks and hosts for them . Thinking about a 462nm and a 465nm build in one of these ..

Rich:)
 
Wow, that would make such a awesome collection a 445, 462 and 465 all in the same host. That would make such a great night beam shot . Got me drooling already. Love to see all three lighting up the sky. Can dream, that's where things start.

hi BM,
thats a though i have all those WL's but in different hosts. Maybe i might get some night shot in tonight when it gets cooler here . going to be around 100 degrees today , it reached 107 yesterday ..

Rich:)
 
Specially where you live lifetime, and better than a hundred is miserable. I grow up in Missouri where they got mesquites the size of hummingbirds and humindy to match.
 
Hi BM,
That makes it sound like I'm having a walk in the park, i goes it isn't so bad after all LOL !!
