Tiny 500mW 5 mode 445nm(yobresal build)

I have received it yesterday (19 August 2011). Yobresal is very fast about shipping.

I received it in 5 days (Turkey)

I have 1-1,2W Yobresal build and compare this with it.

I like this host because it is tiny, 5 modes works perfect as it only changes modes when you half press the button. I don't understand why 2 modes (med and low) are pulsed.

I prefer black host but this is also nice and have 3 GITD rings in the middle of the host.

I don't have a LPM so I can't say anything about power output exactly but when compared to my 1,2W it lacks of power. I can't burn things as far as I can with 1,2W.

With 1,2W I can burn through a black plastic cap of a bottle in 5-10seconds but with that tiny I couldn't, even I waited for 30 seconds.(Both are tried while focused to infinity)

I am not sure if I can show visibility difference of both with a photo but if I can I'll add one. Sure 1,2mW is more visible. Anyone can easily tell them apart

Yobresal sent battery+charger+and a carrying bag with the laser.

His service is first class

and now let the photos say the rest

Jayrob's 445nm Flexmod P3 Maglite Monster Kit

I've had my eye on Jayrob's Maglite kit for a few months but it has been somewhat of a pipe dream until just recently.

FS: Large Maglite Monster Kits! FlexModP3, Side Button Forward Clicky!

As you could probably tell, I have an acrylic lens in there temporarily until I can get a lens cap for the Aixiz 445 glass lens I have.

Excellent machine work. I like the way it looks like a CD when the light hits it.

The heatsink fits like a glove where the reflector used to be. Jayrob also included a baggy with all the parts that he removed to turn this into a laser. (Reflector, two bulbs, bulb retaining ring, lens, lens o-ring)

I ordered the Flexmod P3 hot option at 1.8A and got my diode from DTR press fit into an Aixiz module with leads already attached.

All I needed to do was solder the two wires coming from the switch to the wires on the back end of the driver, and the two wires from the front of the driver to the positive and negative leads of the diode.

Since everything was color coded black and red, there were no issues with figuring out polarity.

The kit came with a page of assembly instructions, but I've spent so much time drooling over his kit thread that I already knew how to put it together. It took about ten minutes to assemble.

I'm using two 32650 batteries with Jayrob's tailcap modification. They fit the host perfectly and there is just enough spring tension to make electrical contact without making it difficult to screw together.

I am astounded how powerful this laser is. My leather wallet doesn't stand a chance against this beast. Plumes of smoke billow from it as soon as I switch the laser on.

The shallower burns are from my 50mw rayfoss greenie.

I am really impressed with how bright this laser is. The dot is clearly visible even in broad daylight.

The beam is very visible indoors even with all the shutters and blinds open, however my camera disagrees. So I don't have any daytime beamshots.

Once the sun goes down I'm going to fog up my room and do some indoor and outdoor beamshots if my camera allows.

EDIT: Fog shots and night shots added.

Here is my makeshift fog machine.

I got the idea from this thread: How to Make Fog Without a Fog Machine For better beam viewing. "Cheap & Easy for All"

And now for the pictures you've all been waiting for.

Here are the night shots. My camera distorted some of them a bit.

A huge thanks goes out to Jayrob for such great service. He answered all my questions about his kit before ordering. He is really easy to get a hold of. I think the longest I waited for a response from him was about an hour. He helped me figure out what I needed and was extremely helpful and friendly.

I really wish I had the chance to shake his hand.

Ultrafire C3 445nm laser

I bought this host from Tmart hoping that it would have a boost driver that could be used with our 445nm diodes. Unfortunately the driver only put out around 350mA.

So I got out my AK-007 boost driver from DX (these are older ones that are >1A, the new ones no longer output that much)

Firstly, I got myself a nice blank PCB.

Then I soldered some silicone wire leads onto it.

Then I grabbed my AK-007 driver. This was a two tier driver of which i removed the top PCB to make it 1 mode. There was also a resistor located right below that top capacitor. I removed it and bridged the gap. This driver now outputs 1.4A

Attach the AK-007 driver to the blank PCB

Attach output leads to the AK-007 driver.

These stupid LED stars are so hard to get out, so i just busted the LED off the star.

I put the AK-007 driver inside the pill and fed the output leads through the holes.

This is my 445nm diode inside a machined aluminum module. Pressing a diode into a zinc coated brass aixiz module can't work that good... (look up the thermal conductivity of zinc and brass)

Snatch up my pretty little heat sink I made for this host.

Put the module inside the heat sink....man, that module is starting to look rough.

Then I soldered the output leads onto the diode.

I also soldered the blank PCB in place so it can't fall out (solder at top)

Turning my fingers into C clamps, hold the heat sink and pill together, and spin the head. This will ensure the pill gets screwed in without spinning the heat sink and twisting up wires.

Screw the flashlight back together and you've got a tiny little beast of a laser.

Like a miniature Aurora C6, and just as strong!

My camera doesn't take very good beam shot. This is in a fully lit room.

Bedroom, fully lit

No smoke or fog in either of these pictures.

Tmart 250mW red laser

Hello,i bought this laser because alot of poeple where asking about shipping and quality of the Tmart lasers.

So I do my help by buying this laser and there to do a review on.

Looks: it looks nice but the powerlabel isnt attachet right on the laser.

Specs:it aint NEVER 250mW i dont have an LPM, but i burns quite well!

(Laser safety goggles are an must the laser is very bright)

Feeling: the laser isnt heavy but still feels kin of sturdy so that is good.

Focussing is really easy and better than the old dilda from DX (wich i bougt for an friend of mine)

Package: it came in a nice presentation box with two cr2 battery`s.

Shipping: i ordered the laser on the 5ft of august, and i received it on augst 23

so that didnt take very long or specialy short.

The beam is visable at night.

I will post some pictures if i figired out how -

Ultrafire U-501B

I saw Qumefox put a green module in one of these a while back and really liked the look of the host. Then one day I was browsing a flashlight site HK Equipment(I think) and saw it so I ordered one up. This is another host that I ordered many months ago and just got around to building it.

Anyway this host has a really sold feel. It is heaver than I thought it would be. The host walls are pretty thick compared to a lot of hosts. The mass of aluminum in this host gives it great heat dispersion capabilities.

The look is pretty sweet. It has an aggressive stainless steel retaining ring on the top, has a large unique shaped head with intentions, fins around the mid section and the rubber grips that not only look good but add great functionality when trying to turn the unit on and off one handed.

This host was sent to Flaminpyro to be mated up with a heatsink. He did a great job with keeping the look of the host with the heatsink protruding slightly out the front. And the sink is like a suction cup going into the body. There is a lot of metal on metal surface area with this sink which really does a good job moving heat into the host body.

Also of note and a personal highlight for me he made a copper plate for the top of the pill to mount the flexdrives on. This makes it a pretty straight forward build a little tight but did not require further modifications to adequately sink the drivers.

I am going to run through the build guide as I have shown similar builds many times but I do want to hightlight the driver driver sink.

Allrigt so to run through this here is how the host breaks down. There is the host body, heatsink, head, tailcap and copper driver heatsink.

I like this one a lot. It has a uniquely aggressive look and great capability to disperse heat. I also would like to thank Jeff for the sweet job on the diode and driver heatsink.

Laser Pointer Blue 200 mw

WOW. I'm surprised. Last time i bought this, it was a little different. I was like hmm.. But it works better. Its way strong!! It has a safety key. It is amazing!!
