The Guerrilla Blue 445 :)

[rhd]

Made this this evening -

Had the host for a while
+ magically Moh's hotlights heatsink fit PERFECTLY
+ that $1.99 DX driver
+ 2x 16340s
+ on of Moh's easy focus rings

(sorry, camera phone pics)

(turned it on briefly here for the photo. ouch)

That's a pretty sweet looking host!

Just don't drop it in the snow, you'll loose it!:gj:

Hey, thanks I was pretty proud of it.

Should mention - it's a metal host. Even though it kind of looks plastic in the photos. It's a basic WF501B host. Wonder if Moh knows that his hotlights heatsinks are absolutely PERFECT fits for that super common flashlight???

(well, not quite perfect, they're actually a bit too tall to fully thread the crown on - but otherwise!)

WOOOW BEAST, yo i just officially got everything ordered for my 445nm

btw, if i wanna build a 445nm in the future, what driver did you buy?

 

[532 with Envy]

It feels great to make you own handheld laser!
Matt does a very good job at a fair price as well.

Again nice build there! :beer:

I see you got the driver working :gj:

 

[rhd]

I did, thanks to the suggestions in that thread

As a follow-up, do you know of a way to limit that driver to 550mA so that I could run a 405nm from it?

IE - is there a resistor that is easy to change?

 

[Meatball]

Cooooooool. I want laser.

It looks like 405nm. I need to get back into some 405s..

Which driver did you use?

yeah I'm beginning to find that a lot of these host's use the same measurements.
That is an awesome host though

 

[nosebleedXD]

i agree that your hosts are the best =]
