Here is a project I did earlier this year prior to my 7W NUBM44 Maglite build. I had a couple of weeks off work and wanted to try something that could be done without the assistance of a machine shop. The host (if you want to call it that), was an “Aluminum DIY Project Box Enclosure Case” found...

Hey guys, here is another project I completed this summer. This is something I've been wanting to build since the 44-V2s became available. I've been holding off on posting this until I could get some decent night shots, and we have finally had a solid week of crystal-clear night skies! The host...

Here is another build that I made this year using a 488nm Sharp GH04850B2G. I machined a small heatsink and affixed it to the threaded insert with Arctic Alumina (it works ;)) It was a DTR packaged diode/ driver, I'm not sure which driver it is or what it it's set to, based on his...

Hey guys, here is one of my 2020 additions to the collection, a NUGM03. This beautifully made compact host was made by Lifetime17, thanks Rich! The color of the powder-coated heatsink is a close match for the 525nm wavelength. It's powered by a Super X-Driver set at 1.8A running off of 2x 18350...

Hey guys, it’s been a little while since I’ve posted anything. The past few months have been a bit crazy as I’m sure they have for all of us. I’ve made a few new builds during my time away and I’ll try to get them posted as I find the time. Here is my 405nm BDR-209 build. The build was...

Recently I bought a GoPro Hero 8 to get better pictures of laser night shots. Here is a 4K Time/ Night Lapse that I shot last night with various lasers! If you're like me, you would probably try to pause each frame to see the 'still' of each laser, rest assured, I did that for you. ;) 1...

This weekend I finally purchased an LPM (the Hyperion Argentum to be specific). I feel like this is pretty much a noob question, but I wasn't able to find what I was looking for as there was little documentation on this meter, other than the thread from astralist in 2016. My question is, is...

Here is a red powdercoated side-button host made by Lifetime17 (thanks again Rich!) His host came with the standard 18650 adapter. After I purchased the host from him, I ordered a handful of new batteries from Liion Wholesale. While ordering, I accidentally added 4x 21700s to my cart (thinking...

A few weeks ago I ordered a couple NUBM44-V2’s. Unfortunately, (due to user error) one of the diodes must have had some sort of particle on the lens. (An expensive lesson learned to always have some canned-air on hand when changing lenses!) This particle was instantly fused to the diode window...

Here is the 1W 520nm NDG7475 T6 that I built shortly after the 4W NUBM07 build (since I had another heat sink available at the time). The module was from DTR with a Super X/Drive set to 2.2A. It was the same concept as the previous build, the light green powder coat was the only color green that...

I thought I'd share my build pics of my 4W 465nm NUBM07 that I built sometime in 2017. Module was from DTR with an X/Drive preset to 3.5A. The build was from a T-6 flashlight and aluminum heatsink that I had turned and powder coated at work. The fab company I work for has a lathe but it is...

Hello LPF! Im a new member, but have been coming to the site periodically for info for around 5 years. So I’ve been obsessed with beams since the purchase of my first ‘real’ laser (WickedLasers Executive Fusion 125mw) back in 2007. At that time I had not even began to think of trying to build my...
