Oh crap. This is so unfair. Did you not see my sig line? Don't you realize this is like offering a beer to an alcoholic? Just last week I was arrested for FWD (flashing while driving), although that wasn't related to flashlights.:o And I was doing so much better. (sigh) I have a solitaire...

Money sent. Nice job, and fast, too. One of these days I'll start assembling all these loose parts! Joe B.

Count me in for one. Let me know when & where to paypal. Joe B.

Having somewhat oversized fingers, I like the focus ring to be more accessible. I therefore like the hs the way you pictured it, with perhaps a little rounding of the front edge.

Thanks, Dave. I got my lamp and heatsink in the mail today. Joe B.

Hey Dave, if you have any of the old style heatsinks on hand, I'd take one of those and a new style flashlight. I have an old style Dorcy, this way I end up with a workable host/heatsink and a nice flashlight for furture mods. Thanks. Joe B.

Living only three miles from a Harbor Freight, my house could be designated an off-site advertising outlet. Some of their stuff is crap, however I have never had any trouble returning any item for a replacement or refund. How bad is it that most of the employees there know me by name, and greet...

Actually, I'd like to retract my previous request for an original Dorcy. Yesterday I found one at Target, and will be ordering a full body heatsink for it. Of course, I still want the GB Dorcy + heatsink. I'll take one of the newer model units, once you get it all sorted out. No hurry - lots of...

I really have no preference. As a first time builder I think that the extra room in the original might be an advantage, but I'll work with whatever I get. And no hurry on any of that, either. I got lots of new toys to play with at Christmas.:san: Joe B.

I'm going to Harbor Freight in the next couple of days. Email me your address and I'll send you enough teflon tape to fix several dozen loose lasers.:san:

Dave and Tom -- pm's sent.

AFAIK - There is no law against importing laser components, including modules. Even paypal accepts such orders. You can import powerful hand held lasers, but they must have FDA approved safety factors built in - i.e. key lock, aperture cover, warning light, delayed trigger operation, etc. These...

You mean like this? DealExtreme: $16.43 50mW 532nm Green Laser Module (3V 11.9mm) or this? DealExtreme: $33.33 100mW 532nm Green Laser Module (3V 11.9mm) or this? DealExtreme: $46.81 200mW 532nm Green Laser Module (3V 11.9mm) Also, nowhere does DX say they won't ship modules to the USA...

Re: FS: $60 - Complete Lasers - 100mW BR/ 240mW Red FWIW: I modded my blu-ray with two DX 14500 cells and a bit of aluminum foil. By slightly readjusting the module I got a really nice easy to hold laser, no spacer required. Topped off with a DX GITD lens cover, it looks really spiffy and is...

Payment(s) sent. Thanks again.
