If you have a li-ion 18650 (2600mah each) pack made of 9 cells in total (groups of 3 for a total of 11.1volts) would this battery give an output of 23 amps? From a few Google searches it says that batteries in series wont increase the mah? So 3 groups of 3 2600mah batteries for 11.1v would be...

So I ordered a 30mw 532nm module from a US seller on Ebay, and like an idiot they shipped it in a plain envelope (not even a bubble mailer) with NO packing materials at all, from California to North Carolina. I am assuming it is dead because of its painful trip here, I am wondering if it could...

Looking to purchase a 532nm module (around 20mw) from someone is the US. I need this soon (can't wait for it to be shipped from China) so if anyone has one or knows any US based companies that sell it please let me know, thanks!

I just picked up this host for only $8 it takes x2 18650. Now I am looking for more large hosts doesn't have to have a handle just needs to be able to fit 3+ 18650's. I was looking at the Skyray king but its my last resort. I really like the large Olight hosts but considering they are all over...

3W UV Emitter Hello, I have a spare Cree host laying around and wanted to swap out the T6 emitter for one of these 1W UV emitters. Should I use the driver from the T6 or should I just run it straight to the power? I also have a Q5 driver if that would be any better I think it's less powerful.

I am making a led lamp...and I have about 92 LEDS on it. The lamp is sort of like a tree it has lots of LEDS basically branching out from a base. I have them all wired up now (I had to use thin wire 30awg) and just testing them using a single panasonic 3100mah 18650 they all light up, but after...

Looking for a nice looking extended heatsink for a c6. If someone has pre made ones I'd love some pictures! Thanks I hope to buy one soon!

I have recently been wanting to make another light, so I am in search for something bright. I have a few T6 lights that I bought and for a single LED they appear to be very bright, the site I bought them from advertised them to be 1600LM but I doubt that's even close to true but they are still...

Hello! I am curious if people want any blank contact boards with or without springs. 17mm they fit perfect in a c6 pill and similar pills (as in photo below) Gold plated boards along with optional gold plated spring. They make a really good connection and really make a cleaner build! I have a...

Well I was looking at faster ways to de-anodize , other then spending a hour with a dremel. Through a few google searches I saw a few things people said worked, oven cleaner, toilet cleaner, drain cleaner ect. So I tried toilet cleaner and it didn't work so well. Not sure why though maybe the...

This may be a really stupid question, but I need to ask it to fully understand and make sure I am not doing something wrong. I recently looked at DTR's thread Host Grounding and it got me questioning if what I am doing is correct. So, I have been cutting the CASE pins off my diodes 405nm. So I...

Okay so I extracted the red diode from a GGW sled, its running around 400mA. It smoked my pliars handles (which are made from some squishy black plastic smelling material) so I would guess its got to be atleast 100-150mW right? Anyways this is my first red and my question is why can't I see the...

I found a little 5mw module I had from a pen host I tore up a long time ago, and it turns out it actually works after a year or so of neglect :thinking: Sooo I wanted to do something with it, It wasn't focusable when It was in its original pen host. So I put it in a aixiz module and threw it in...

I decided to try to polish this little cree light I have. Its my first time trying this so its far from perfect but I think it came out okay. Did this with a dremel, and some sandpaper. It has some swirl marks and scratchy areas where I think I just didn't sand it enough. Idk what I will do with...

I have a 405nm being built, and I am thinking about a green one now. I had a 5mw green laser and I know how bright the beam was it was amazing to me for my first laser but now I know a little more I would love to have a 100mw-250mw green laser. So I have been looking at green modules, and I...

Well I managed to just LED my SF-AW210, now I need another and I really don't to wait weeks again to get one. And I am having a hard time finding somewhere to buy one that's not in China lol. So if anyone has a spare with little to no time on it I'd love to buy it off you if you can get it to me...

I am trying to find a driver for my C6 I am trying to build (first build). I had a driver but it was too big to fit. The diode I have is a SF-AW210 405nm diode, I have read that its safe to run these at 180mA, but I can't seem to find a 180mA driver that will fit in the pill. I found a 200mA and...

Okay so I have a C6 host a 300mw 405nm diode, I have the diode in the aixiz (using just the top part of it) and I just can't get it to fit into the host. The driver is just too big. This is the one I used (with the spring cut off and wires soldered on) But now I need a new driver a small one...

Well I have finally got all the parts for my very first build (hopefully). I have a C6 host with heatsink, aixiz module, 300mw 405nm diode, and a 0-400mah driver, and a panasonic 18650 battery. I am making this thread mainly because I dont know how to assemble it. I know the basics how to...

Hey everyone, been wanting to try to make a laser for a long time. Finally started buying stuff to try to make one. Here's the parts I have so far... 3100mAh Panasonic 18650 Battery (Hope to use this to power it) 405nm 100-300mw Laser Diode Driver Reverse Protection 0-400ma 12x30mm Aixiz...
