Yea, and it wasn't even at it's focal point
Interesting... How did you go about doing this without the module sticking out of the rear of the heatsink?
Was it the side-button pocket pal with the copper heatsink?

I made a Meredith Side button pocket pal too, but also a Pocket Pal like yours. There was barely enough room with the wire leads 'bent' 90 degrees right at the diode pins. I bend the wires over right when I heat the heat shrink tubing, then the heat shrink tubing cools, and holds the wires bent over...
