After all the drama I caused myself, I'm afraid to get it wet :) The instructions you put together we extremely helpful...I'm still impressed with the quality of this build, you picked an excellent host. I was also surprised in how much room there was for the driver. I even wrapped the driver...

Success!!! Finally!!! Thank you jayrob, flaminpyro, drlava, and iskor12. Once this thing fired up, it was all worth it!

I was using the RCR123A at 3.6V

I give up...I've ruined 4 GGW laser diodes in a month! I have no idea why they're failing. I ordered a Flexdrive preset to 180mA and hooked it up to the GGW with an RCR123A from batterystation.com. Within 30 seconds it failed. I tested the output of the flex with a test load and it was...

Well I managed to burn up two GGWs trying to test them after I set up the 200 mA for the Flexdrive V5. Two more sleds in the mail >:0. I think I was tapping too hard trying to put the diode into the aixiz for the first one as it would flicker on and off and only turn on very dim if at all...

Did you use an AixiZ module to peform this build? In your instructions you say that you should solder the wires from the FlexDrive to the diode mounted in the aixiz module. But your pictures just look like the diode is mounted in the heat sink that jayrob makes. Also, for the 405-G-1 that...

Thanks a bunch, hopefully I can manage this and make it completely waterproof.

I absolutely have to make one of these...where can i get a couple of these heat sinks made? I didn't see anywhere where someone could get those glow ring seals and what the diameter might be. Great job on the build!! Highly impressed!!
