WARNING PIC HEAVY
I dont know if anyone remembers a thread i made a while a ago about this host I have. I sort of slapped toghether some flashlight stuff I had + a heatsink meant for another project = this beautiful laser. I think this one is fighting for the #1 spot in my laser chest ( currently held by qumefox's sipik host in copper).
Well lets start off by showing how it was put together.
The parts:
The thing I like about this particular host is that theres several bezels made for it, so based on what I like I can simply change out the front bezel.
Next is the driver, its a buck type driver that normally only puts out 1.1A but was modified and heatsinked and now puts out 1.4A.
To mount the driver, I used a crappy Cree R2 drop in module and took out the old driver and reflector and soldered in the new one.
Heres the driver in the host, all snug and fit. I ran a continuity test just to make sure the negative connection was there. I didnt need to since these p60 drop-ins were made for these host anyways.
Now here are the two different bezels...one is assualt style and the other one is flush stainless steel. The bezels or crowns as they are sometimes called holds the heatsink down to the head of the flashlight.
and the completed laser with a custom focus adapter
and of course the beamshots....
overall i am very happy with this laser. It seemed a bit weird to use the pill from a p60 drop in but hey it worked...and works damn good too.
thanks for looking!!!
