Thanks Jay, I just completed a 1.5A, 445nm build. Although the build is a little tight so that clipping the diode pins is a must, I would actually have to say that this was easiest hot option kit that I've yet assembled (I'm comparing to Jay's pocket mini and stainless 18650), due to the way...

Just to be clear, are you saying you have placed an order and sent a paypal payment without so much as a PM confirmation?

Just want to report that I got this in the "monster" configuration -- 1.5A, copper heatsinked driver, copper main heatsink, copper module, and the G1 lens. It is simply one of the "schweeetest" devices I've ever seen, and the fulfilment of a lifelong dream that started in 1984 -- March of 1984...

Yeah it's simply great, Jay. What I like best is the "size efficiency" of the thing. If I'm running a blu-ray or even a 445 in the vicinity of half a watt, there's simply no need to be carrying around a "laser brick." It's just perfect for that kind of power level -- no bigger or clunkier...

I just want to say that the hot option was incredibly easy to put together -- my soldering skills are pretty rudimentary (just for reference, I have soldered a handful of things in the past, but still had to go out and buy myself a cheap soldering iron), but after getting the kit and being...

Thanks Jay -- looking forward to it. This will be my first laser build ever. :-)
