WTB> Sand-blasted matte turquoise pen

[bloompyle]

Hey!

The full request is in the title, I’m looking for a custom built sand-blasted matte turquoise pen, or similarly slender host. I really want my upcoming 505nm build to pop.

I’ve got a ton of diodes lying around that I haven’t had the opportunity to put into a build, figure it’s about time to get on that!

Thanks!

Like I??

In the ballpark, but I’m really firm on the matte finish. Not reflective.

Good luck on your 505nm build. I have done several of these.

Bloompile,
How about matte black ??

How about something like this -Here-, it's almost a matte finish, and it's turqoise!


IMO, these Convoy hosts are pretty classy looking as far as a flashlight host goes, this could probably be purchased elsewhere, but the Gearbest site is the first one that popped up.

Edit: I put my 503nm build in a matte finish "champagne" colored host, it turned out pretty sweet,

As for getting that eye catching look have you considered color shifting paint? I've not ever seen a host with this effect.

Spectra FX - The Most Dramatic Color Change Paint

This dramatic color shift is the result of special, patented crystal flakes instead of color pigments used in traditional color change paint.

I looked at Mountain Electronics first, as I'd much rather deal with them, but it looked like they only sold the green host, and not the turquoise color one.

@ BTG
Ok that is correct I haven’t seen it before

I accidentally let this thread die. I was going through a lot back then.

Those were some good options, and I could use them on lasers I'm not as pumped about, but these are very important wavelengths to me, so I don't want to settle on anything but kinda close to the vision. Though that champagne host is nice...I'd use something like that for a 638 or a 520 maybe.

I might also be interested in having a host made, and then maybe finding a place to ship to for custom powder coating. This will probably turn into a matching set with a 16X in a rose host.
