Bought this today at a auto parts store, Advance Auto (formerly known as Discount Auto)
I liked it's looks and large head size.
Very good work on this one --- Note in pics. below, the threaded ring that holds the diode "pill" down. O-ring sealed, sealed tail clicky.
I'm going to machine a solid brass heatsink to extend all the way down the head (nearly 1-3/4" X 1-1/8 )
Cut the hole in the middle .0001 under the OD size of a Aixis and apply heat-sinking compound, then press fit the Aixis into it.
I estimate about 10 ounces of heatsink.
I am going to run a LOC at 450mA w/glass lens. Going to need a good heatsink.
Anyway, if you have a Advance auto store near you ( I know they are in most of the south)
Go pick one of these babys up $7.99-- Autocraft Model# AC902
Or look on line,I am sure somebody else sells them.
