Dimensions are 0.693" by 1"
So they're not 6", they're 0.6", or rather 1.76 centimeters. i.e. Very small.
If you wish to make your own device then my advice to you would be to pay for a couple of his drivers. Wait the requisit amount of time for them to be manufactured and distributed, which could, appreciably be a little while off yet and sit tight.
Alternatively, if you hang in there you'll see lots of people selling BR flashlight-based lasers once these small drivers come into circulation. (Kenom etc have bought into ~100 of the drivers).
Do you have a BR diode yet? As the harvesting and mounting process of these is probably not something that can be tackled with the greatest of ease either.
